THANKYOU !! your chasing my winter blues away BIGTIME....
i was reading on his first site where he said: he was blowing by his paddling buddies... who couldnt make headway in the wind....
that happened to me one day.... and i had plenty of juice and power (it seemed) but the winds were just to strong....i eventually
had to put on my waders which i always have aboard...and i had to tow my boat all the way around the shore line to get back to my vehicle. people on the shore were giving me a bunch of stupid looks too...and i know how to SAIL real well and wished i had one... Wow ! he carries allot of gear !! which is why i said 450lbs and up capacity. I bought a gas motor now for the sweet water boat.
back to yaks: and tm's (trolling motors) i had once bought a riptide saltwater version but it didnt last long enough and cost $600.oo bucks Yikes
so i liked his method of buying hundred dollar motors and rinsing well. I still would want more thrust than 34lbs though and the riptide
was 55 pounds of thrust. the setup with the crate is sweet
