Too much thrust?

[MJBo]

I'm looking at an alumacraft Navigator 165 I plan on buying at the sports show and somehow I've talked myself into a minnkota powerdrive with 70# thrust. Is that obscene for this boat? preciate it.

always buy the longest shaft and the most thrust you can afford. 70# will work great on that boat. i have 74# on my 21 tundra and it works fine just make sure you buy good batt.

You can never have to much trust. You might need it in most cases but there will times that you will use it and need it.

Too much thrust? Ain't no such thing. Way better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I've got a 70 pound, 24v on the bow of my 16' Lund Angler SS. Plenty of power and long battery life.
