[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 270647, member: 5461"] Welcome :WELCOME: Trolling motors are incredibly nice and useful, but if you have the option to have and use a gas motor on your boat, GET ONE! My advice would be to get a larger motor than the 2.5HP. Don't be afraid of used motors, they are usually significantly cheaper than new ones, and its easy to find one that is as clean and runs as well as a new one. You can even get one from a dealer or marina that comes with a warranty of some sort. I would recommend a five to ten year old 9.9HP motor. You could get an excellent condition one for less than $1,000 which is probably what a new 2.5 costs anyway. [/QUOTE]
