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
Fool4fishg
With the little chill in the air it is getting me thining about catching something with fins through a frozen sheet of ice instead of a boat...
I have been thinking for a couple of years now of finally making my own fish house. I have never moved forward entirely with it. If I am going to put all that work in, I would like it to turn out as something I really find useful and easy to use.
I want something that is fairly easy to move around, but still more like a permanent structure. I would like to be able to sleep a night in it if needed and when I say easy to move... I am talking about something that works like a boat trailer... I want to be able to pull it down the road...
I want all this, but cannot afford the crazyness of these camper / home type ice houses ! I am not looking to move out, just want to be able to fish in it yet still not impossible to move around. Can anyone out there direct me into a direction in how I build something like this???
Need to get a good start on the ice season.
Thanks Much...
