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
HOGEYE
A guy at Gander turned me on to this. I purchased a small 6 or 8 inche bungee cord (not the rubber kind) and cut one of the hooks off. This works great and will prob last longer for a fraction of the price of replacement straps. I just clipped the hook off one end and bent out the other one slightly so I can still put my cover on with gloves. The metal spiral that it still attached holds very nicely. If a person has a longer cord they could just cut it and tie knots in the proper places to hold the cover onto the auger.
