Which one should I pick?

[Zac Bullock42]

So I am trying to pick a motor for my 12 foot olympian tri-hull boat and am leaning towards a Minn kota but I would like your honest opinions. My choices have come down to either:

Which I know is huge but it will work hopefully if I use it in the river
or

Its a good deal but Im not sure about the motor and how much work would take it to run the way it should because there could be more than just the carb possibly. Thank you guys.

jmo, but neither of those choices are good! the trolling motor is what it is.....a trolling motor, you have to charge and lug heavy batteries, the eska ( no offense to eska lovers) is an eska! do yourself a favour.....find an older small omc thats not been abused, tune it up, and run it for years.

Thank you for the opinions. I only plan to use which ever motor for this summer so getting something nice doesnt have to be so important for the time being.
