So I am thinking about purchasing a used boat. 2000 21foot triton. Trolling motor on it is garbage, it is only a 65ft lb thrust. So if I buy the boat I will need a new one. What is everybodies recommendation on a trolling motor? | ||

Oh yea, this will be a 24volt trolling motor, not a 36 unless I can put another battery in, but then I have to change the onboard charger also. | ||

I personally am a big Minnkota fan. Had zero luck with the two Motorguide's I owned. I have heard they have improved though?? Why would you need more than 65 lbs on a bass boat? Quit being a mad, little bald man! Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. I forgot the CAMERA! | ||

You may be limited to 72 or 84 pounds on a 24v trolling motor. Definately Minn Kota in my opinion. Bigun, he needs more because he hates fishing the same spot for more than 10 seconds...   Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish | ||

You need more than a trolling motor to get a TOON around Just kidding. I replaced mine two weeks ago (it was a chore). I went with another motorguide (TR82). The foot pedal is very smooth and has ample power. I searched the internet and local shops for the best price. I bought mine from www.iboats.com They had the best price as well as free shipping and no sales tax. |
