So I have an 8x8 Frontier. I would like to put a minn kota on the back.

Suggestions on min. thrust to use? I plan to put around the ineer channels and inner bay.

Thanks guys..

Pretty sure were recommended up to 10hp and make sure its a long shaft too

I have a 55 lb. thrust minn kota that I use on my Bigfoot. It does a good job.

Thanks McCoy.. I was looking at a 70lbs thrust one myself... I have an 8x8 so want to make sure its going to be ok..

I'm looking at a 32lb one, will that push me half decent?

you need as long a shaft as possible, to get below the bottom of the tub, otherwise the thrust is just a hamilton beach mixer action.

I have a 55 lb thrust for my Argo Conquest .Its alright the problem is the battery . You really push a lot of water in an Argo and the battery goes pretty quick .I would like a 4stroke using the Argos gas tank and my 55 minkota fo just moving within the area. but for going to the next place to fish , I think a gas motor is the way to get there.
