[QUOTE="Waco, post: 29352, member: 453"] Hey man, so ready for you to cut it. Its gonna be awesome if it works out. As far as the 41 lb. thrust trolling motor goes, it should do fine. It really all depends on how much weight you put in the boat, such as decking, outboard, angle iron, etc... I have a 40 lb. thrust on my 12 ft. jon boat and I really think I could outrun a 4 horse motor if I was in it by myself. But all the extra weight can sure drag one down. I have a 67 lb thrust on my bass boat. My big boat weighs close to 2100 lbs. and it the trolling motor does well except in heavy winds.
