ELE,

I know this has been discussed in the past. I'm all for it assuming it can fit the majorities schedule, and we can pick a place that most can agree on. We'll need to discuss this with Rick before labeling it FM event. I don't know what the potential liability is if it were an "official" event.

Dave, you're the man here. I'm just a hall monitor. LOL

I'd be happy to help in the planning.

Dave/Ray,

I think it would be excellent to go for a ride in the spring whether it is a FM sanctioned event or not. I just think it would be fun to meet a bunch of you guys and go for a long ride. Dave you are kinda the guy in charge here, but I am willing to help in the planning of a big ride if I can. Lets just try to plan it so as many FM atvers as possible can go.

Lets ride.

Ryan

I would be in if something gets planned. It sounds like fun. I don't know that I would be much help in the planning but I would be willing to do anything I can. Keep us up to date.

A few years ago, I think?, it was from the atv connection forum. A bunch of us minnesota atvers started talking on one of the topics and we actually planned an atv ride and we did have it. I think we had about 35 atvers show up. A few went off on there own but we had a large group ride together. It was a pretty good day. I will try to make it.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?

      New boat question

      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.
