[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 431183, member: 9937"] Believe it or not the aluminum cost was not that bad at all. I was able to get all of mine at the scrap yard at a far lesser cost. The trolling motor will last me all day long when on a medium low speed and fighting river current. Even though mine is the lower end minn Kota edge, I upgraded to the digitally controlled board. This improved the longevity of the batteries quite a lot. That etec is a lot heavier than two strokes of years past. You should be just fine. I have a 6 gal tank in the back and a small motorcycle battery to power my graph and bilge. If you have a series 27 or 24 for starting that is even more weight to offset you up front. [/QUOTE]
