I purchased a Medium otter ice house. The set up was real easy and it has plenty of room for two people. I am able to put three holes in it. Camera, Vexilar and two lines. I used it for the first time on Saturday. Real easy setup with lots of room. We ended up pulling our sleds (houses) though alot of snow because the pond was on a road that was hard to drive down. They pulled excellent and carried everything I needed. I found some cement chunks and cinder blocks and put them around each corner of the sled and the sled did not go anywhere. I love this house and I am sure glad I bought it.
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.
