GV13 with a trolling motor

I'm trying to get an idea of how a GV13 would run with just a low budget minn-kota 40lb thrust trolling motor on it.

Thanks

That's what I currently have on my GF18 I just finished. It'll move it along just fine for trolling or spot fishing, but it doesn't do well in a decient wind.

I had it on a 12' Snark sailboat/row boat that I had, and it pushed us around just fine. Again, you don't go fast, but at least you do move.

Sounds good. The lake down the road doesn't allow outboards but I figured I'd still go with the GV13 in case I ever want to buy a small motor for some other lakes.

Thanks for the quick reply.
