[Electric Boats] Re: Trolling Motor in Salt Water

 

Hi Phil. I watched both of your trips on youtube as well as some of your build vids. Truly a lovely boat and an inspiring voyage. My wife is from Ontario, so she watched some of it too. I couldn't do anything as grand in FL, as the waterways don't really work the same way down here. I don't have time for strip planking, either. Still, I'd love a solar boat to kick around in all day.

I like some of the slot top sailboats that Jim Michalak designed like this one https://www.duckworks.com/product-p/jm-jewelboxjr.htm

They are supposed to float on their side, but I'm more attracted to the idea of the slot down the middle to allow both full standing height while keeping the center of gravity low. I remember you crossing a rough lake in one of the videos and thinking I hope I'm never in that situation.

How is the Torquedo holding up? You had some problem with it cutting out on the first trip but no mention of it on the second. Is it worse in the weeds than a regular trolling motor? The rivers I love around here tend to be problematic in that regard.

Thanks for the vids - hope there are more in the future.
