Took the Tolman to Lake Iamonia near Tallahassee yesterday just to
explore its miles of "paths" through the lilypads. Obviously other
boats follow these paths because they are generally clear of weeds.
However, it is not good territory for the Tolman even though the boat
is built for extreme small draft. Repeatedly bogged down the motor
with balls of weeds on the prop and overheating.
So, what is the technique in places like this? Is it just not a good
place for a 90 hp motor? Unfortunately, I had locked the 9.8 kicker
in the "up" position and had forgotten to take its key so I could not
use it.
I really wanted to explore but was afraid of getting stuck and the
motor failing. Swimming or walking back is out of the question as
this place is gator paradise. Passed numerous gator wallows and saw
several gators from a distance.
So, are places like this only for john boats with tiny motors (OK,
airboats too)?

Ouch! That hurt my asshole when you crammed your nose up it so fast.

Minn Kota electric troller with weedless wedge prop. Don't go in the
weeds unprepared.
Air-cooled kicker with weed cutter prop is another option.
But they're noisy s hell, and disturb swamp serenity.
Your other option for the 90 hp is get a similar weed cutter prop for it
and rig a weed strainer for the cooling water inlet ports. That's a big
job and would only be done on a motor used primarily in the weeds at
slow speeds. Not practical otherwise.

Poling? How heavy is the Tolman, I forget what they look like, how big
they are?

Been trying to find a suitable pole for that purpose, maybe a piece of
2" diameter bamboo but cannot find any. Might consider using the mast
from my daughters old sailboard. The Tolman is a big boat but
lightweight and would pole easily.

How many times have I told you. I don't do anything for myself so no one
else should. I don't see how someone can feel any pride from a job well
done by themselves. I get my pride from sitting on my fat ass all day in
my basement and monitoring rec.boats all day. Then I call people names
and insult them. After that, my little buddy Don instantly replies to my
post with more childish crap. That's our life!
