[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 164222, member: 337"] yeah - you won't see me using it in areas with debris/gravel/rocks - I think it can handle some 2 mph collisions with the occasional logs I built it "breakaway" so I can always replace it - I made a stencil and I can cut two or three from a $15 Target brand cutting board. I plan to lock the main motor in place and steer with the trolling motor (and hopefully leave a lot of it up to the xi5 and gateway mapping system). I do that now and it works great but can be a pain since a guy has to oversteer a lot under certain conditions - the huge skeg will minimize battery usage since it relies more on keel/cutting to make turns rather than rely prop propulsion off to the side. I doubt that Skegosaurus will work that well in conjunction with the bags the bags are for slowing me down from my current lowest speed of 1.8mph if necessary [/QUOTE]
