Ted, I've gotten by for 12 years on Lake Calhoun with an old 28 ft-lb Minnkota on my M-17. It's fine when the wind dies. Not so fine heading into a breeze more than about 10 mph, but then I can sail anyway.

I bought an M-15 in December and can't wait to get it out on the MN lakes this summer. I live in Minneapolis and have a strong desire to sail the boat on the lakes right in the city, one hang up is you an only use electric motors on the lakes. I am a good sailor, but not good enough to not need a motor. My question is, what is a good electric motor that I could buy that will not be that expensive (I would only use on these few lakes). Thanks in advance for your insight! -Ted _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats When posting, remember that there is no privacy on the Internet!
