When I took my boat to the shop (still there) to fix the hole that the motormate made, or holes actually.......I took everything out of the boat. Everything that wasn't nailed down. First time I've done that since I bought it in 2007. I use my boat to store every fishing thing I have, so I don't put in, take out, put in, take out. Well, I'm rethinking that.

My entire carport, double at that, is covered with this stuff. A bird built a nest and is sitting on eggs, in some of it!!! I never had a clue I had so much stuff. I found 11 rolls of electrical tape. Guess I thought I would be alligator hunting. Lots of it IS in boxes! I have a lot of boxes.

How big a trolling motor is needed on a 50 foot yacht?
