Artem asked:

I’m about to buy an inflatable boat (not decided about size and shape yet but this is not the point right now) and since I’m new to boating I’m a bit confused. I made some researches and that’s what I found, the outboard motors are VERY expensive, 900+ it’s toooo much for me right now and trolling motors are not only not powerful (this is not a big problem since I don’t need high speed) but they used to brake down too often.
So what should I choose and what should I do? Maybe there’s some good brands? Oh and btw I’m fishing in the ocean in bays (not open ocean).

THANKS!

How much should i ask for my boat?

Ok so Im looking to get a inflatable boat for fishing in the spring. The boat will be needed to hold 2 adults. So im looking at 4 person boats for ample room.

Gaest1 asked:

I have a Ganoe, like a canoe but a flat back on one end to put a trolling motor on, It was given to me and had been dragged to the point 1.5 in wide keel is only about 25% in tact. Have cleaned and prepped it, I have 9″ wide fiberglass sheeting that I figured to cut the width in half. The boat is 13′ in length. I understand how to prep and apply but wondering how many layers I should put on.

I have a small 12 or 14 foot boat (aluminum) and a small trolling motor (electric). How do you have to be to operate a trolling motor. I am 14 and my mom cannot physically operate the motor due to arm pain. I wanted to operate it but I don’t know if I need a license/coarse, and if I do how fast can I get one because I am leaving tomorrow.
