[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 450298, member: 8599"] It looks like your using a long shaft motor on a short shaft boat.. so that's extra drag and weight.. I take it you need a battery for the motors electric start? And a 24V trolling motor is way overkill for a that 14ft.. so the 3rd battery is weight wasted.. You could easily get by with a 12v 55lb unit. And if you wanted to, only use the rear mounted battery to save more weight. that is actually a small and narrow boat to build up for use with 3 people so be careful about every pound of weight you add.
