Hi Folks,
Tomorrow morning I will be purchasing a Lowe 3210 Jon boat. It is 10 feet long and the bottom measurement is 32'' wide. Weight capacity is 275 lbs or two 180 lbs people. I weigh 200 lbs. Will be powering this boat with a Minn Kota 40# trolling motor. Trying my best to keep the weight of accessories down. Just looked at a class 27 Marine battery and it weighs 54 lbs. This is the recommended battery size for my trolling motor. Walmart sells a smaller size marine battery for $59.00. It is 3/4 size of the class 27 battery. Looks like it might be a better choice because of the weight issue. I could buy two of those $59.00 batteries and keep one in the truck while out on the boat. Could switch them out if I had too. I wonder what battery people are using on their kayaks, canoes, and other small craft. Any thoughts or suggestions?
