Trolling motors are a whole different thing, but they get the job done for small boats.īut if you're considering buying a boat, you have other options. I suppose I'll have to settle for a trolling motor like the Minn Kota Endure C2 and putter along at a couple knots if I want a break from the paddles. This is a sort of hybrid of the two, but we're not going into depth on that one today.īeing a canoe owner and frequent paddler myself, let me state for the record that I often wish I had at least one option, an inboard or an outboard, at my disposal, especially a few hours into the trip. Technically there's an odd third option, the inboard/outboard motor, also known as a sterndrive. So, then there were two, the inboard motor and the outboard motor. Some boats are electric, sure, but most aren't, so for our purposes today, assume that when I say motor or engine, I'm talking about a gas-powered system. Thus, most people who own a boat tend to own one that uses a fuel-powered motor. Sailing is a great pleasure, but it's also a lot of work and requires a lot of specialized knowledge and equipment. If you own and operate a Viking long ship, allow me to respectfully withdraw that statement in your specific case. If you plan to do any serious distance travel and/or you have a boat much larger than a dinghy, oars are probably not the best method of propulsion. When it comes to making a boat move over the surface of the water, you have a few basic options.
