What kind of trolling motor could be used for the Sevylor Fish Hunter inflatable boat?
You didn’t mention how big your Sevylor Fish Hunter inflatable boat was, but even the largest of that brand weight very little. You can get away with the smallest of trolling motors. It really depends on how fast you want to go, the size of body of water you will be fishing etc… Trolling motors are rated by lbs of thrust as compared to gas outboard’s hp rating. The smallest size trolling motors I know of are 28 lbs of thrust. They can go well over 50 lbs of thrust but those are for larger bass boats. The smallest 28 lb thrust trolling motor will suit your needs just fine. If you want your boat to move a little faster or handle fighting the wind you can consider a 30 lbs thrust or even a 36 lbs thrust trolling motor. There are two major brands, Minn Kota and Motor Guide. Bass Pro shops also has a “store band”. Personally I like Minn Kota and have used several over the years. I good way to get a great deal is to purchose reconditioned motors. You should be able to find a 28-36 lbs thru
