Kayak with trolling motor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I put a trolling motor on a stealth 14 and sold it within 2 months. As said before a ton o extra gear and weight for little gain and more of a headache over all.

I really enjoyed the stealth up till I put the motor on it. Then it was more of a burden to go fishing than fun. I also lost a lot of maneuverability around the kelp beds and when in a little wind on the drift.

The only upside was reverse but you get that with paddling anyway
