[QUOTE="Symore, post: 238308, member: 7591"] I have a 15ft aluminum grumman canoe. Last year I sold my boat and wanted to go crabbing in the back bay. I bought a side motor mount and a 2.5 Suzuki. The motor only weighs 35lbs. It worked ok but could not go very fast with the motor mounted to the side. Also the sides are not very high so you have to cut the bow into any waves or wake. To make it more stable I bought a pontoon kit and it worked good. But I would only use it on calm days and if by myself I had to put a cement block in the front floor to ballest it down. [/QUOTE]
