I bought a 6HP Nissan gas outboard with my Porta Bote. While I sold the Bote a little over five years ago I still use the Nissan. It will be 11 years old this April. Weight is 55 pounds. I built an outboard motor holder that fits into the stake post in the pickup bed side rail right behind the cab and keeps the motor upright and takes up very little room.

Again not intending to hi-jack the thread, but do you guys carry spare batteries for the trolling motors? I kind of like the idea of a small gas engine but it also has many drawbacks as far as storage and weight.
