[QUOTE="dougw181, post: 301220, member: 5885"] I fish a local electric motor only lake in my 14' Valco with a 55# 12v motor and I can push 3.1 mph with myself and a buddy. I will go through a group 27 battery in 1-2 hours on high speed. If I back off and go to speed 3 or 4 I can get 4-5 hours out of the battery at 1.6-1.9 mph. I have learned to be patient and use the lower speeds to extend the battery life. I carry 2 batteries, and this will get me through a days fishing, but both are spent at the end of the day. I recently purchased a bow mount 55# motor in hopes to become more efficient and get more out of my batteries. I want to be able to go camping for the weekend and fish and charge the batteries with my small generator so the more efficient I can get the better. [/QUOTE]
