With regard to a Logic 210, I have a Minn Kota 55 (55 lbs thrust) 12V trolling motor from my smaller motor. According to the Minn Kota website you need 2 lbs of thrust for each 100 lbs of boat weight. It looks like a 210 with 200HP outboard is 2700 lbs... not including gas. That is right at the limit. Then add three guys at 200lbs each, gear, coolers, etc. I would guess all in the boat is more like 3700 with gas, gear and people. Is there any chance my trolling motor will move us along on a smooth surface at 1.3-1.7 mph? I know wind and waves make it ever worse, but wonder if I can "love the one I'm with" for a season before I buy a bigger motor. Thanks!
