I want to get a trolling motor for my 13’ whaler. It only weighs about 400# before adding people, so I need something small. I’d prefer not to spend $600 if possible. Whats the cheapest way I can get going? I’d prefer a bow mount. Can I get away with a freshwater model? I looked at Walmart and they seem to have only Minnkota/brand names. Does anyone sell a knockoff cheap-o?
If its well worth it to spend more $$ up front than I’d like to know that also. Or can I find something cheap for $100 that I could burn through 3 before spending as much as a saltwater minnkota?
Thanks in advance.
