exert-7 asked:

Is it a $300,000 blue water boat, an inflatable boat, or something in between. Mine is a 14′ jon boat with 15hp Johnson outboard and a Minn Kota bow mount trolling motor. I have caught so many bass from this rig in area lakes and ponds. It’s as close to perfect as I could wish for.

Robert asked:

how much run time should I get? According to an equation someone got me, you divide the aH of the motor into the battery’s aH and that’ll tell you the amount of hours you’d get a t full throttle. So does that mean about two hours?? Any advice on battery/trolling motor run times?
