Hobie Float Cat 75
The Hobie is a catamaran style boat with 6foot plastic pontoons.
Designed to be powered by oars or kicking fins. The one i got has a transom for a trolling motor. The whole rig is surprisingly light. Should be easy to cartop and launch.
Looks good for current and wind free waters. Hopefully, travel restrictions are lifted so we can wet this baby.

Old Town Saranac 160
A new canoe just arrived. A 16 footer! Should be an interesting ride
i'll set it up to fish.
Made a mount for a trolling motor
Still deciding if i'll clamp it on or drill mounting holes on the gunwale.
Battery box mounts at the bow. Should help keep the front end down.

Minn Kota Riptide 40
Got a new troll motor. 36" shaft,12volts, 40lb thrust. If you have a choice, go for a saltwater rated motor. Their seals tend to last longer and motors are more corrosion resistant. 36" shaft makes it comfortable to use at a sitting position. Digital speed control usually means amp savings. We'll put that to test soon.
