I'm Back

Just got an '85 Bass Tracker III for free. Everything works and the boat was used regularly. My buddy stepped up to a huge boat and just gave me his tracker. I cannot be more thankful for that. It has a 40hp motor. It's not the prettiest, but I can fish my *** of in it, and plan to work on her aesthetics slowly.

Here's the question:

This is a 17ft boat with no trolloing motor. I'm not planning on fishing in high winds/current, so will I be fine with a 40# thrust trolling motor up front? Hell, all I do most of the time on Toho is troll the mat line and flip, so I'd assume I'd be alright since the boat isn't that heavy, and will just be me fishing most of the time.

Thanks, guys.
