[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 210051, member: 10"] You should be able to find a few used trolling motors (I would go with two) That will get you on the water. Be aware that even with two say 34 lb thrust electric motors you are gonna creep along at a slow walk. However, you can then use the boat. Keep your eye out for a used outboard in the 20-30 hp range (you can go a little more, say up to 40) You might want to consider buying another used boat that has a good motor - sell that hull (or sell your hull) and voila, you are set. Often you can get a complete boat for less then the motor will cost. Additionally, you can then test the motor on the water. Good luck and welcome to TinBoats [b] PS Watch out for Popeye and FishingCop, they are bad news incarnate[/b] [/QUOTE]
