[@danclements1990]

Now I need a Torqeedo! i have been Running the Cargo with a 2hp Honda, but the Torqeedo seems amazing.

I have had my 603 since first of May, love it! have an extra battery to make my wife will be secure that we will get back and we stay out all day!

Love the video, but I do have a question. Can you remove one of the seats to haul bigger cargo? Or would it effect the boat itself? Thanks!

[@danielbren9391]

I have a Esquif Cargo and I am interested in purchasing a Torqeedo Travel 1103. Were you using the short shaft or long shaft for this video?

[@Dyshof]

Helpful video! Thanks.

Hi can I ask what would fit better a 15 inch shaft or a 20 inch shaft Honda 5hp? Thank you

[@theoutdoordad7395]

Great, very useful info. Yea s the Heron a boat you would recommend for standing up to cast (fly fish) from?

[@TheLittleStuff]

I stood in it.

[@theoutdoordad7395]

@@TheLittleStuff stable enough to fish or should I choose a wider model? Probably could have gone a little faster with more ballast on the bow.

I have a new Mallard XL and Torqeedo 1103 CS. The shaft is 3 1/2 to 4 inches longer than it needs to be for the prop to be withing the 1.2 to 2 inch clearance from the bottom of the boat and since I fish shallow flats, I will want that extra clearance. Does anyone know of a transom riser or jake plate that would be a good choice for this canoe/motor setup? Thx

[@TheLittleStuff]

I don’t know that, but you may want to consider getting the weedless prop (1972-00) and an Innovative Sportsman Rock Guard.

[@theoutdoordad7395]

Damon- did you figure out a solution? how do you like that set up? I thinking of getting the same boat and motor. thanks!

[@slmjake]

Damon how do u luke the mallard xl thus far? Is it durable and stable? Does it oil can? Can you paddle it or is it better at rowing and motor propulsion? I am comparing it to their abinaki.
