minkottaI just bought A 12 ft jon boat ! im putting on a  30lb thrust on it !an suggestions  on it ???? im getting ready to go fishing!!!!!!!

Congrats.

Be careful standing up on a 12' Jon.  Be careful with weight distribution in a 12'jon.  A 30 lb thrust trolling motor should push that boat around ok.  A 55 lb thrust will push it better.   2013  Bass Pro catalog shows a price difference of around $100.  A 55 lb thrust with the Maximizer (or Motor Guide makes an equivalent) might actually make your battery last longer.

 

Buy a paddle.  Be mindful that a set of oars is better than a paddle and rowing is good exercise.

 

Have fun & catch fish in your new boat.   Wear your life jacket.   I strongly recommend the inflatable life jackets because they are more comfortable and you will be more likely to wear it.
