[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 169544, member: 423"] Really like my USS Mud Puppy. 10' x 4' and stable as a table. Weighs 150 lbs stripped down and about 350 loaded down with 2 deep cycle batteries and a 12v 40# thrust Minn Kota w/auto pilot. Decked it out with an anchor, rod holders, oar clips, old cooler for a live well, storage bin for license, maps etc. and brackets for trolling rod holders. Probably don't need the second battery but if I'm by myself weight is not an issue. Maiden voyage on Sweetbriar was a resounding success last fall. 40# Minn Kota could push me up to 3.5 mph and lasts all day at trolling speed. Picked up a catfish, a crappie, a perch, 20+ bullheads along with 15" and 20" walleyes. Had never had a nibble there before. Mounted an HDI transducer on the Minn Kota and had eyes on the fish and bottom with my Elite-7 HDI. Bought the boat used for $500 and the Minn Kota for $75. Batteries and Elite-7 came off my Lund Tyee. Other accessories maybe cost $50-60. I have a feeling I'm going to get more use out of the Mud Puppy than the Tyee. :-) [ATTACH=CONFIG]6836._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]6839._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]6841._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]6843._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
