John, I’ve had a Torqeedo motor on my SS127 for a couple of years. The motor opens up a lot of opportunities to run up stream and fish while floating back down stream eliminating the need for always having to have another vehicle for shuttling. A couple of things, you may have had it on and I didn’t see it but you should have the magnetic kill switch attached to your PFD so if you fall out you don’t watch your kayak motor over the horizon. Also, in Tennessee with a motor on your kayak you need to register the kayak and display the 3 inch registration numbers on both sides of the kayak. Well done, I’m happy for you.

Paddling 4 miles on the lake can be tough after a long day of fishing in the heat. Great catches this trip.

That motor with foot steering is going to change the way you fish! The efficiency once you get the muscle memory established will give you a lot more opportunities than you ever thought possible. It has been the difference in my tournament fishing. I would put the throttle on the side of the boat that I reel with and not the side that I hold the fishing rod. It's easier to adjust the speed while a fish is on.

As I got older and making a little better money I graduated to a fiberglass bass boat. I am on my second fiberglass bass boat and never regretted it one minute. The way I looked at it is if I bought it at a good price then I could always resale it and get my money back.

To be honest, I feel lucky to bank fish in today's messed up economy.
