Re: 36lbs trolling motor enough

I've got a 50lb on my 18" bass boat and it is adequate. Sometimes I wish I had a little more thrust, but it has never failed to get the job done. The 36lb should get the job done on a 14' boat.

I have a 36 lb. on my 13' Jon Boat and it does the job. Every now and then if there is a lot of wind I wished it was a little stronger but over the years I really have no complaints.
