BD, how much does your boat weigh? I am thinking an 74-80 lb trust will work on this 18.5ft I need to weigh it though.

Jump....Metal Boat?

After fishing Saturday and Sunday, My order of importance is Trolling Motor, Jack Plate, then Power Pole.
If you release them they will grow!!!!

Don't skimp on trolling motor power. You'll regret it. At least 80lb...

I might need a note for my wife from the board members explaining my "need" for all these add-ons; its cutting into her new washer and drier budget.

Around 1600 lbs.

The 80 lb. Minn Kota Riptide will do the job for you.
