Swagonmaster Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Does anyone in the NC area have a Trolling motor for sale? I have blown through my budget on this 1977 Glastron rebuild I've been doing and still need (of course I need it dw) a trolling motor. Looking for a bow mount 40 to 55 thrust and 45" shaft. If you know of one pretty cheap I'm I interested. Quote
Patrick Reif Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 I have a 2018 model 80# tiller steer Minn Kota MAXXUM I would sell for $400. Less than 4 months use. I found out I just prefer a foot control Quote
Swagonmaster Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 Appreciate the offer but I was needing to stay with a 12 volt motor. Quote
Swagonmaster Posted June 5, 2020 Author Posted June 5, 2020 I started with Craigslist but all that was there had already been sold and the poster hadn't bothered to take down their post. (One of my pet peeves) Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted June 6, 2020 Super User Posted June 6, 2020 I just googled 1977 Glastron boats. They look pretty heavy to me. For decent performance, you're going to need a 24 volt system. I don't think that a 12 volt trolling motor will cut it. Quote
Swagonmaster Posted June 8, 2020 Author Posted June 8, 2020 The boat itself is 900lb and can hold a max of 1085lb so about 2k lb. I think that I could get by with as little as 40#. I bought a Minn Kota Maxxum 70 just because it was $175 and with the cost of a second battery would be about what I expected to pay for a 12 volt unit. If you are on the lake and see a boat pulling skiers with just the trolling motor that would be me! Thanks for the help all. Quote
