    Will a 30Lb trolling motor push a 17ft carolina skiff?

    Just wondering how well the trolling motor would work? It might be used for trolling some but the main point in having it is to get me back in I have motor problems. Is on sale $99 with $20 mail in rebate and I have a $10 off coupon so we are talking $74 out the door.

    Thanks for Looking I just bought a 02 Carolina Skiff and from the looks of it it looks more like a 92.
