Once again I have a question so I come here to the experts. I'm trying to
decide what size trolling motor I'll need at the very least. I have a 16
foot boat that wieghs about 1000 lbs with the outboard. I'll be mainly
using it in backwater canals in Florida and have to deal with in and out
going tides. I didn't want something under powered or something amounting
to another outboard so I leave it to the group to suggest the proper pounds
of thrust. Thanks.
