I use this boat exclusively on 100-300 acre local ponds. For the last few years I’ve only used it for trolling. Basically idle speed with a trolling plate deployed to maintain 1-3 gps all day long. No long runs to honey holes. Not in a rush to get anywhere. Should I just get a 55lb trolling motor and call it a day? I’m not getting any younger and the hassle of maintaining my gas motor doesn’t really appeal to me as much as it used to. If I didn’t have a bad back I’d be happy in a kayak. Although I like to keep my boat nice, and have customized it to meet my needs, it’s ultimately just a way to get to the fish. Could anyone who’s gone this route let me know how it’s worked out for them?</p></blockquote><p></p>
