Testing my Coleman Scanoe & Minn Kota trolling motor, after relocating battery to avoid capsizing

Tested my Coleman Scanoe (canoe) moving the trolling battery to front which was causing the rear to capsize. Had fun catching bluegills!

I cut my the shaft on my minkota about 6 inches made the it more comfortable, before my arm was reaching up to the controls

How hard is it to row of you don't have a motor? Does it track well just rowing?

[@HawkmanExplorations]

Yes, I use the motor to travel distances, but row around once I get to where I'm going. I have used it as much without the motor, it's still a canoe

[@mikeleader1537]

How heavy is it to get it in the water by yourself? I'm handicapped and can't lift or drag too much.

[@HawkmanExplorations]

@@mikeleader1537 It's heavy for one person lifting out and in the back of a truck. I just pick it up and pull it out of my truck, maybe a small trailer would be better

[@brandonmyers4984]

can you stand up easily in the scanoe?

[@yajneebxyooj]

I can on mine

[@HawkmanExplorations]

Yes, to stretch, but don't fish much like that

@@HawkmanExplorations thank you, awesome videos its hard to find detailed videos of scanoe set ups. My dad passed away in march and had bought one but never taken it out, i had no interest in it until now. Now i cant stop looking at them thinking about how im going to set it up and keep it going looking forward to getting this thing out on the water!
