I think the challenge would be to come up with a worse one.

As bizarre as it is, you could still rip the engine and radio gear out and be a few bucks ahead at $60.00 .
Why he cut down the MinnKota prop though makes me wonder why he did that.

Many people have trie to make a trolling motor by putting a trolling motor prop on a weed eater. They spin to fast for the pitch and size of the prop. I am sure he had to cut the prop down so the motor could spin what is left of it without stalling.



It was worth looking at for sure.
