Anyone out there have these hydrolic legs that lift the pontoon boat without a "boat lift"? If you how to they work? Do they effect trailering etc. How would you compare them to a boat lift?

My folks have a 21' pontoon with the sea-legs and they love them. They are an electric motor over hydraulics. They work great. Tested true due to recent storms and strong winds. Very easy to work. One switch for the front legs and one switch of the back legs. These legs allow people who aren't young anymore to easily take the pontoon for a ride rather than try to fight with a boat lift. These legs are becoming quite popular on most pontoons for the above reasons. I would recomend them to anyone.

One more item of thought. With sea-legs, the scissor pontoon trailer will most likely not work because the scissor frame rises onto the sea-legs which risks the pontoon droping from the trailer and pinching the trailer between the sea-legs and pontoon itself. A bunk trailer is the way to go with this rig. This isn't logic, unfortunately this was learned thru experience.

There is another brand called Tune-ups out of St. Peter that has just hit the market. They are the same concept as Sea-legs but do work on about any trailer. Also, you can lifteach leg seperately if needed in case you are on an uneven bottom or on rocks or something. They will also work with tri-toons without any modifications. This is not an advertisement, just a satisfied customer. I had Sea-legs and now have Tune-ups.

      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.
