My ancient Motorguide electric motor finally kicked the bucket. It was 15 years old. Scanning the present emotor options it looks like a lot has changed. The bull#% is laid on thick enough that I have no idea what motor is quietest, most dependable or best value.
I need it to push my 16 foot long 40 inch wide Gheenoe, mostly on still water or gently moving rivers. It weighs about 120 pounds. The emotor will be primary propulsion. Back up is my back, arms and oars.
I like the idea of extra umph this time around. I am considering something in the range of 60 or 80 pounds of thrust, transom mount, short shaft. Budget for motor, batteries and charger is around 500.
Please share your experience with the different brands and set ups. At this point I am near ground zero. Any and all information is going to help.
