I have an opportunity to buy a used Motorguide "Energy" 76# thrust, 24 volts. It needs a prop, but the shop only wants $100 for it. Seems awful cheap. It looks ok. I'll have them connect it to a battery of course, and see what happens. I've never owned one, so any ideas of what I should look for, as far as something being wrong with it would be much appreciated. Thanks Joe's Kid
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
