What kind trolling motor

[pyroboy08]

@coolbob64 It's an old Johnson

[nowthenletmesee]

How does it handle in the sea, or in white water ?

[pyroboy08]

@nowthenletmesee it handles fine in rough water because the center of gravity is below the water, but when the waves start throwing water into the boat, you'll be finished.

i wouldn't trust that to float me across my bathtub..... mostly because it looks like it IS my bathtub

[pyroboy08]

@smeagle9999 actually we named it the floating coffin. But despite its name survived a five hour journey. It did leak but I had fashioned a bilge pump from an automotive fuel pump. We had to pump water out about every 45 minutes. The pump eventually got clogged, but a gift from the boating gods came in the form of a discarded Styrofoam cup floating down the river.

[mrhenky42]

The title deceived me! I thought that he was going to power the boat with saying "U mad? Lol, u mad bro?" with a smug grin on his face

[pyroboy08]

@vhagler ya, but its a really old motor and its really beat up and the guy I bought it from looked to be about 70 years old so I doubt he could have stolen it but who knows.

[vhagler]

@pyroboy08 You say that the model and serial number information is missing. Sounds like someone wanted to remove any identifying marking from it in case they get caught with it.

[pyroboy08]

@vhagler what makes you think its stolen? or are you just accusing me of stealing it?
