Great Results From My Setup

I have a Sea Eagle SE-8 boat. It's inflatable - has a transom and motor mount, also has seats and hard floors for standing up and fishing. For what I need, it's a great little boat.

When I initially bought it, and knew I wanted to use a motor, I had concerns about the run time of the battery with motor.

I have a MinnKota Endura Max 40 motor and a Wal-Mart brand EverStart size 27 battery.

I took it out last week on the lake and ran for several hrs and after several miles and after putting it on the charger saw the battery had only been drained between 65-75%

That's pretty good compared to what I thought it would be. I figured it'd only last a couple hours or so, but it seems it'll last a good while longer.

Just in case someone wants to know the longevity.....it's pretty good.....
