    Too much boat for electric only????

    Good post, thanks for the input. The places that I will be fishing are very small, biggest being about 30-40 acres. I was just worried that #55 lbs might not even push one of those 16 foot jons loaded with a deck and everything in it. Speed is really not an issue at all so I think my...

    Lowe 1436L mod just completed. Tell me what you think.

    Took me about a month because I only get about one day off of work a week. Really only took about 40-50 hours of work. I have a few small things I still would like to do to make it look more "finished". Total cost was about $3,100. Could have saved some if I would have shopped around a...
