in it to win it Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 hey all i just purchased my first boat, its just a simple 12 foot aluminum and i was wondering what a good/affordable trolling motor would be? Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted May 18, 2008 Super User Posted May 18, 2008 Congrats on the boat, I just bought my first one this year. I bought a Minn Kota Endura 55 and its been great so far. Best suggestion I got earlier was to buy the highest thrust motor you can, it will come in useful. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted May 18, 2008 Super User Posted May 18, 2008 I just got a Bass Pro flyer today. They have several tmotors on sale. Quote
Daniel My Brother Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 If money is no object, more thrust is always better. BUT...you don't need a lot of power to push (or pull) a 12 foot jon. I use a $99, 36# thrust on my 14 foot jon and it gets around fine. Not much practical difference between motor guide and minn kota. Both build fine motors. Quote
