Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more). With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways... -
Dang, new content and now answers. First, congrats on the new boat! My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V. 80 might be tops? I’m partial to MinnKota. How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too. All weather or just nice weather? Casting a lot or bait dragging? Bobber or panfish fishing? Spot lock? Networked with depth finders? What brand of depth finders? -

We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions. -

I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout. Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.

Question
311Hemi
A few days ago I got fed up with my sunglasses as they were very foggy/scratched and I just could not stand it any longer. I searched the internet for a fix for my issue as I really did not want to drop a decent amount of money to buy the same exact set of Bolle's again.
The issue: The inside of the lens of my sunglasses had a bunch of tiny scratches (from not cleaning correctly) and it appeared that on a few areas of the lens a coating of some sort had been scratched/worn away a little. This was the blue/purple coating you see on the inside of the lens. The scratches in this coating were making everything blury. From searching online it appears this is an anti-reflective coating and it can be removed without harming the lens. The outside of my polarized lenses did not have any scratches even though they had always been cleaned the same way.
Solution: I went and purchased a small bottle of Armour Etch from Michaels. This is a glass etching agent that wont affect polycarbonate lenses. I removed the lenses from the frames and then per the instructions online I spread the Armour Etch over the inside surface of the lenses and let it sit for 5 minutes. Once 5 min was up I rinsed them off very well and then then washed them with dish soap and rinsed again.
I put them back together and the glasses are like new and perfectly clear again, minus the anti-reflective coating which really doesn't seem to affect me very much. You may get a small reflection once in a while, but it is not really noticeable at all. From my reading this does not affect the UV rating of the polycarbonate lenses and it did not affect the polarization.
Use at your own risk......it worked for my polarized polycarbonate lenses on my Bolle's.
DO NOT USE ON GLASS LENSES, YOU WILL RUIN THEM.
