to troll or not to troll?

[CATCHandreEAT]

[size 1]I had a great trip out on the water yeaterday (I LOVE my 'toon) I had it out about 4 times since I got about a month ago and I REALLY enjoy it. You can read about my latest adventure by clicking below. Anyway for the benefit of those that don't want to read my linked post I'll just ask my question... Should I get a trolling motor? My 'toon is so easy to row even in a breeze and I get places pretty quick. (My bro in law in his tube says he turn around for a couple of minutes and when he looks again I'm a 1/4 mile away ) anyway I don't mind rowing it's great exercise and I'm feeling a good kind of burn today after my trip yesterday. But in stiff winds I would like to have a some help that a trolling motor might give. I have a couple of questions would a trolling motor even help in a wind? Is is it worth the extra weight of the motor and battery? What kinds of speed could I expect if I wanted to troll a little? Do any of you 'tooners run a trolling motor? BTW I'm looking at a 40 lb minnkota. Any info you have would be great.[/size]
