Our duck season opens on Saturday. I took the boat to the lake this evening camoed and grassed, with the Chessie. Got launched and went to start the motor and it won't start. I can feel myself getting panic disorder. Too late to get it to a mechanic and too late to buy a new gas motor. I am thinking about stopping after work tomorrow and buying the most powerful electric motor Walmart has just so I can use the boat Saturday morning. I don't know if a 55 lb. thrust electric will push a 17' modified v aluminum loaded with a 90 pound dog and 450 pounds of duck hunter( there is two of us). Anyone have any thoughts on this?
