Boat registration, and Boaters safety?
***Im giving better details on this
I want to put a trolling motor on a 12ft aluminum V-hull boat, that has foam in it for flotation I want to move at least 500lbs (which is below the maximum weight)It has a top rating of 10 h psize motor rating on it. I wonder what size trolling motor should i get or should i save money and get a larger hp outerboard size? Also if im over the age of 16 do i need to take boaters safety to operate or can i just "go". I only fish on inland lakes with lots of wind breakage like trees on the shores. The winds do get breezy but not terribly bad. All info is greatly appreciated, as much as possible. Ive posted this before but the answer on the safety didn't help much and i was kinda vague before.
Its just used for recreational fishing with family and friends. im not going out on any big lakes or in rough waters. I live in MI.
Thanks thats what i wanted to know.
If you are over 16 in Michigan you are not required to take a boaters safety course to operate a boat. (changes for a PWC)
An electric trolling motor is good for for moving your boat along a shoreline without making any noise. It could serve as your only motor but will not offer a lot of thrust when you are fully loaded and need to get back to shore You may want to see about a small outboard - 6hp or so would be okay and should more than be able to move you around even when the winds get a little breezy.
Again I will suggest that you at least take the boaters safety course on line to learn some basics. It may save your life or that of a friend.
Good Luck - Boat Safe!
