[QUOTE="chrislrob, post: 129794, member: 2336"] Hi, all. If all goes well, I will be picking up my new-to-me 1432 from wasilvers next week. It's my first boat and I am very excited. Thanks, Will! I have looked through the forums and decided to buy a new or used 40 to 55lb thrust transom mount. Price is a big concern for me and I have set up a craigslist search for a Minn Kota Endura. I've seen good things about them and the price is in my range. Before I realized that I could buy a trolling motor for $200, I was prepared to row my boat! LOL! But I'm wondering if there are other motors that I should look out for. Anyone have any advice for a newbie on the subject other than "bigger is better"? After reading dozens of posts, THAT is very clear to me. Still have to get a battery, an inexpensive fishfinder, and maybe a charger, I guess. Any suggestions on other gear and where to buy cheaply? Also, any advice on shaft length? I won't be standing up in my 1432, so wouldn't the shorter shaft be better? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
