None of this wimpy Minn Kota stuff for sure. That's the good news. The bad news is that it will need 8 VERY LARGE 6 volt batteries to power it for even an hour. The only batteries commonly available that might do the job are the heavy duty L16s, running about 110 pounds each. So, for about 900 pounds of battery weight you could tool around for maybe an hour, quite possibly less. Not likely you will be on plane. If you want to run all day nothing less than a hydrogen fuel cell, nuclear power or an acre of solar panels will do. |
