I have a 40 year old Hobo project boat that didn't come with an outboard.
I really want to power it with electric and would like some recommendations on
what model trolling motor(s) from Minkota I should consider using. Pounds of thrust and battery recommendations etc.
I already have 2x75 watt solar panels that should fit nicely on the roof.
Would like to have a simple stock system as I get bleary-eyed when going over much of the info on this site.
The boat weighs in at 1,800 lbs empty and my need-for-speed is quite modest, looking at about 5knots or so. It will mostly be used, for now on a freshwater lake that is about 10 long with about 1,100 islands so never far from shore and never very rough as found on bigger bodies of water.
Thoughts and suggestions most welcome.
Regards, Doug
