[QUOTE="RustyGoat, post: 409638, member: 12206"] Back in 2013 I bought a 2013 14' Polar Kraft Deep V to replace the kayak I was fishing out of. I liked the kayak but wanted to be able to go out on some of the bigger lakes. The first two years I fished the lakes quite a bit but last year with the weather, projects and the 2 lakes being over an hour drive away I really didn't go out at all. I miss being able to just go to one of the many electric only reservoirs closer to me but my boat has one ****** battery and a transom trolling motor. It's really not well suited for the electric only fishing. I've been thinking all winter about selling my 20hp outboard and buying a nice bow mount trolling motor and a couple batteries. I have the boat decked with pedestal seats and stuff which makes the boat rather heavy to begin with and adding the bow mount and batteries would be too much weight. Anyone gone all electric and regretted it? Suggestions? I went through hell and back to find my outboard so I want to make sure I not making the wrong decision. [/QUOTE]
