Re: Largest SW Trolling Motor?
Im looking for another electric motor, already have a 28 or 32 pounder, not sure what it is, but I figure two is better than one, in case one busts<br /><br />Im going to keep two trolling batteries on board too, I know its more wieght but just in case, 12 hours of trolling battery time can get me back into shore, even if its a beach, tides in del bay dont rip that badly<br /><br />may have to wait til change of tide to make the inlets tho, lol<br /><br />(I know, twin engines shouldnt conk, but the idea of that 125 horse is appealing to me as well!)<br /><br />I put twin 36 pounders on the original Hydrophobia, hummed along quite nicely, with me and my buddy Jim on board, and towing a canoe with two more good sized guys ... the canoe boys pulled away in the morning, I said to Jim, they are making pretty good time, pass the thermos ... poured a cup of coffee, then brought the other engine on line, and we waved as we passed the paddlin boys (they didnt need coffee, the sweating effort of paddling kept em warm)<br /><br />we were into nice sized trout by the time they arrived, hehehe, Paul (who now owns Hydro I) nearly dumped the canoe on his first cast<br /><br />naturally, when I get "the boys" back together for the opener this spring, Hydrophobia will be side by side with her sister ship<br /><br />Jim can fish with me, no problem, I think well go to Hopatcong or some other big lake, if the weather kicks up, Ill bring em on board and tow the little guy behind. that beamy deep 18 foot starcraft should take anything that a jersey lake can dish up<br /><br />well, cept Paul, but thats another story, lol<br /><br />
