I had posted here about losing my portable fish house on Feb 14th of this year. I have a very good update. I missed a call today and received a voicemail, a good guy named Jason who was looking out for others left me a voicemail about my post on here on my lost portable and maybe having a lead. I thought to myself noway its been almost a month and I didn't ever think that I would ever see this portable again. I returned his call and he told me that there was an add in the local journal about a found fish house. I was very greatful in hearing his news, even knowing if it was mine or not. I looked up the journal online and found the add. I called the number and a "good samaritan" named Don answered the phone and I told him that I was calling about his add in the journal and he asked me about the fish house and I desribed my fish house and the contents that was lost with it, and he say's it's yours. (HOORAY!!!) I thanked him numerous times for finding and reporting it or should I say trying to report it. He had my DNR # and he called the DNR and they wouldn't help him with returning the item found (Thanks alot DNR), so they gave him a number for the state patrol which didn't help him find the rightful owner, so he took his own time and placed a found add in the local journal which I do not receive. That's where Jason found his add and contacted me from my post on here and long behold I found my portable and got it back in better condition than I left it. I would like to say THANK YOU to all for your encouragement on my last post and a very special THANK YOU to Don and Jason for doing what they did and being the honest people that they are. I didn't realize the power of the internet and this forum until now. Wow, what power we all have if we use it in the good manner that we are suppose to. Thanks for reading. Shawn

Shawn, it was my pleasure. A big thanks to Don! Without him none of this was possible.

We may have to have a beer over this one or do a little fishing.

Sorry I couldn't talk to you more we were at AppleBees in Delano and it was loud and my wife is 38 weeks pregnant and she has was having some pretty good contractions, luckily those have now slowed down. Whew!!

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
