I agree, but may be biased because that is what I did.
The craft is a 16.5 foot Kevlar canoe with outriggers and a modified mount that uses a Torqeedo 403 motor.
Usage is as a day craft and photographic platform on the Florida rivers. It's been in nearly daily use for a month and a half now. I'll write up a complete report when done....about another month.

Subject: [Electric Boats] How Much Thrust is Enough
Considering a pair of trolling motors with 164lbs total thrust - approximately 4HP. Wood sailboat is 5,000 lbs with 20' waterline. Going against a 4 knot current is this boat going to go backwards or forwards?
I don't know how to figure this out but I'm sure somebody on this forum can.
Thanks,
Doug
