[QUOTE="Buddychrist, post: 275903, member: 9403"] It will go as long as you have fuel and just add on a down pipe to get the exhaust under the water and you will reduce the noise considerably. I see it as a good investment considering you are relying on a trolling motor now. You probably will not get that boat on a plane but it will puddle along 5-7mph with a 5hp. I don't agree with just buying more batteries, that's just more upkeep and replacing batteries is more expensive than maintaining a motor, use the 5hp to get out there and then worry about going battery powered. On top of just adding more weight for the trolling motor to push requiring more power draw. There is and fine line between efficient and overkill. [/QUOTE]
