Hey I need some advice from experienced jonboat owners.
I'm looking at getting a Grizzly 1648. Almost all my fishing is on small lakes with electric-only rules. What size bow-mount trolling motor would work with this boat? My candidates right now are somewhere between 55 and 70. I usually only need to go 2 miles or less from the dock, and would probably only be fishing & running the motor for 8 hours or less from start to finish. Would a 24-V 70-pound be more than I need?
Thanks for whatever info you can provide, I haven't owned a jonboat before so it's a mystery to me.
