  • Towing gear behind canoe ?

    So I plan on doing a week long camping trip in my canoe and well it's not big enough for everything I want to bring and i don't feel like making multiple trips.

    I plan on getting a 40 lbs trolling motor, should that be able to pull maybe small inflatable plus a pelican 65 quart cooler through water?

    Need extra carrying capacity? Put those free-loading mutts to use!


    Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it's more fun to make your own

    I have to bend over too far

    I get a boner.

    bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

    I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

      Make them swim with the stuff lol? I'm actually looking into deer carts to to bring cooler from car to water because it will be to heavy to move far at all even with 2 people

          i pulled a second kayak behind me as they pull way easier and i load the sh*t out of it. inflatables obviously don't pull as well, but we still do it. even in rougher water than pictured.

              yeah, you should be able to do that with oars in 40 minutes. an hour if you are drinking too. just from my experience. i don't have any experience with trolling motors on canoes though.

                I just built a mount for the canoe. Used 2 2x4's. One flat, cut to fit under gunnels , other on its side with cuts to sit on gunnels with 1/4" bolts and wing nuts to hold together clamping onto gunnels . Stained it and waiting for it to dry now.

                  Just paddle!! Towing something behind you will be effortless.
