I have a 12' aluminum boat. I'd say that we will be around 450lbs - 500lbs with two people, battery, gear etc.
The boat is rated for 550lbs (or 650 couldn't read the tag very well), so we are going to be close to the max weight.
Here's the question. I picked up a Motor Guide Trolling motor for 50 bucks. It is 43lbs of thrust and works well.
Do you guys think this is enough thrust to push me around the lake.
