Picked up a canoe this weekend, an Old Town 16' Katahdin. Do like, but I am tempted to keep an eye out for a simple electric motor that I could use with it. You know, for lazy days on the lake where I might not want to paddle for hours on end. Where would I begin? I saw a couple of trolling motors at the fleamarket today, 28lb thrust was one; and they all seemed to use simple spring clamps to connect. Obviously a deep discharge battery is required; I could use a group 24 for my camper. But that seems like a fair chunk of weight to lug around... and I'm not sure about a wet cell in a canoe.
I'm just fooling around here, looking to spend cheap money for something I would use a few times per year. If I could go 1-2hp 4stroke I would do that. I know I have to register, and do milfoil examinations.
