    Trolling motor experience

I found the foot pedal tobe very difficult to operate, stiff, unresponsiv and when it did move the changes were big not subtle. Removed it...

    Looking to upgrade

    Two older men fishing all day in an old 14' sea nymph is getting old. Not enough room, too narrow to have both standing at once, center seat to climb over and tiller steering. Looking for 16-18 feet without center seat, flat floor and side console that won't break the bank. What would you suggest?

    Excess spray in rear seat

    1969 sea nymph, 14' kicks a lot of spray when there is any wind soaking the driver at mid+ speeds. Have any of you had this issue and what did you do to fix it

    Most Seaworthy 14 Ft Aluminum Boat all models all years

    My 1969 sea nymph would not qualify. Spray rails do not protect the driver at speed on winds, transpme design is not good for keeping stray waves from washing over and it isn't terribly stable (tippy) .
