  • Trolling motor videos or specs

    Does anyone have any videos or able to post up some info on their trolling motor, for example: MaxIV w/40lb thrust goes 8mph in the water.

    Just trying to get an idea of how much faster these bad boys are with trolling motors. Also, anyone have any big boys that really fly in the water?

    Videos would be ideal, couldn't find ANYTHING on youtube

    Argo Frontier w/Outboard... Hope it helps.

    Here are a couple that we did a while ago. This is a 6x6 Frontier with a 7.5hp, 4 stroke outboard.
    Much more powerful than a trolling motor, but only got 3 mph (GPS'd) with tires vs. 4.5 with the outboard. Not much different.
    Problem is... you are trying to push a squared-off bathtub with tires through water. It's a drag! LOL
    I recommend an outboard over a troller any day... but depends on your individual need.

      Awesome, that helps a ton. I also never thought to search for 6X6 + Outboard. If by same chance I do use an outboard it will have to be 4-stroke, but I will probably go with something of the Tesla style (electric) because of stealth concerns.

      Anyone else?
