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? -

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
bendaryesterday
A friend and I joind MTT Minesota tournement trail our first fish was last weekend on lake winnie we did not do to hot on sun we got 15 out of 43 boats. I ran in to RON HUNTER talk about a class act. He came over to our camp site and helped us with upgrates and settings for all our lorance gps, depfinders and even guestions about our hand held equpipment. We ask him if he wanted some money, food, beer, He says no I just enjoy helping people out and talking fishing
I have seen some big wigs before and getting the time of day is hard But not with RON HUNTER The nicest down to earth pro I ever met. My partner and I have allot of learning to do with fishing in competion. My partner said to me I think we are taking the fun out fishing I said no were bring the excite back to fishing.
Anyway THANKS RON HUNTER for being my mentor
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
