I just picked up a Minn Kota 46# thrust today. As soon as the lakes thaw out and the snow goes away, I'll give it a try. I can hardly wait, but it's snowing again today.
I think I'll keep the 24# thrust motor as a back-up though. The 46#'er comes with a weed chopping prop. That should help a lot in the bass water I like to frequent.
COME ON SPRING!!!!!
