Will a high-thrust transom motor jack knife a 14-foot aluminum boat even if set to the slowest speed, I need the higher trust for my river fishing, but I also need a slow speed for casting and trolling in lakes I just don't want to go airborne. I will mostly be using it for bass fishing in the Columbia in Oregon with heavy current, but I do not need a trolling motor that goes faster than I need it to when set to a low setting. But once again, I need a motor that has at least 70 LB thrust for the heavy current and running tide at times without the airtime. 14-foot aluminum boat

It’s not just the length or weight, or resistance in the water, a fly bridge has more wind catching probability than say a saloon cabin, or centre console with a flat hard-top. It’s the true answer of watt you need, it’s blowing your mind, and coming out their backsides. Wind.
