Trolling motor

[Martin McFly]

So I still haven't had the need for a trolling motor, I have been using my pontoon on a 27 acre lake and I move around easily, I mean, I do get tired but I need the exercise, there are other lakes around but I'm starting to think I might not need the motor. What do you guys think? Another reason is that if I get rid of the trolling motor, battery and battery charger I would be able to get me the fishcat I've been eyeballing. I gotta trip next month but I won't have room for the pontoon...what to do, what to do?
Thanks

I have had a FishCat for 3 or 4 years now and absolutely loved it. If I never fished lakes larger than 27 acres I would sell my pontoon. That is the perfect size for the FishCat, until it starts thundering, the Fishcat is faster than a doughnut but not nearly as fast as a pontoon (even if you row like me.) I am blessed with storage space so I am hanging onto my trolling motor and charger just in case I need it in the future.

FYI, I got my FishCat from BPS, Cabelas had a better price but I do not have a Cabelas store but BPS matched the catalog price for Cabelas. Might save you a couple of bucks.

I'm sure there are larger lakes but even then I would work a small area. I don't want to sell my pontoon but I'm trying to decide if I should sell the trolling motor, battery and charger and just get me a fishcat.

If it came down to my trolling motor or my fishcat, the trolling motor would be gone.

Ok, so I called my local fly shop and they are interested in a trade so my trolling motor, battery and charger for a fishcat 4, not a bad deal since that was the price I was thinking to sell everything for. I'll get my fishcat tomorrow and I get to keep my pontoon as well. Cool.

Is the "delux" really worth the extra $$?

Finally, the wait is over!
