I just read in the Star Tribune about this group.It sure seems that the media wants every one to believe that the ATV and off road supporters are the cause for nothing being accomplished .It seems to me that the green people are to blame just as much as the rest.
I see the MRR people still see fit to file frivalous law suites to get their personal agendas across or to wast tax dollars that could be spent tring to find a solution.
They were represented in the group but all they could contribute was to say we need more studies.What study is going to please all of the people ?Non,it is just a waste of time and resourses to keep doing studies that will have the same out come we all know it will have.
I don't see any problem with shutting down a sensitive area so long as there is an alternative area to start up.We have many abandonded sand pits, mines , and lands that were stripped of all trees and vegatation we can use for an ATV site.
There is no need to be mud bogging down in a river bottom when there is a sand pit with a ready made mud pit waiting for use.
Well I got off subject a little, but I think this group should have a change of people from the same ranks and have at it again.I am sure that all involved chose their most vigalant people to represent them.Now lets have a few with a more logical train of thought involved, ones who will be more open minded and not the top vigalante for each group.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      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?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
