Jolly Jay fishing boat
I am a newbie to this hobby and this is my first build. I am building this kit to be a "working" fishing boat. By working, I mean to install a winch type system which will reel in the fish. I have a few questions I hope someone can offer suggestions:
1. The kit came with a 4.8v motor. The boat is 24" long. Is this big enough? I don't need to go fast but do not want to be under powered.
2. Any ideas on what kind of gearing or motor system to power the winch? My current thought is an additional motor and speed control using a 4 channel remote, but I am worried about room and weight. The winch will be built with an old baitcasting spool and gears. I think I need a low speed, higher torque drive (and small)
3. Can a battery power more than one thing at a time.
Any thoughts would be a help.
Thanks
