- Want to know how fast can a 12 ft aluminum boat go with a trolling motor?
How much difference will 9 lbs thrust make?

Summary in the end.
I like your video 👍
Thx Larry for watching 🤓
Cool thanks, im going to get the 46.
Thx for watching. Good luck with the 46 lbs trolling motor
do you know the total weight of boat?
Without outboard and people, it’s about 200-230 lbs.
whatever you do do NOT get the 30lb Minn Kota. It is not enough power for any vessel.
Good point! How fast can it go and what’s your boat size?
@@SteveChenFishing my buddy and i rent a 14ft aluminum boat so i always bring a 100ah lithium battery and portable fishfinder and the damn 30lb thrust trolling motor. Bass Pro doesnt take returns on trolling motors so im stuck with this weak piece of crap.
@@golforfishing yea I hear you. Definitely too small for 14 ft boat. It might to the most good for a small kayak.
Nonsense. I notice you don’t actually state the speed you achieved with it, despite being directly asked. I suspect you just don’t understand that a trolling motor is NOT meant to go fast.
I use a 30lb Minn Kota on a 16’ fiberglass sailboat (no sails or rigging installed), with a total loaded weight of around 800-850lbs, and I will see about 4mph on a nice calm day. Any meaningful wind obviously slows it down, but it’s a lightweight electric trolling motor. It’s not meant to go fast. If you were expecting to go faster for some reason, I don’t know what to tell you.
