Thanks for the responses..... My inshore experience has been off and on with others. I have spent most my time offshore.

What brand Trolling Motor and what Lds Trust for an 18.5 Boat?

Hey Guys and Gals, I recently tripped and feel into a heck of a deal in the form of a 18’ 2006 Carrera Flats Boat with Mercury 135 Opti Max, Garmin 178, VHF.
