Livingston Boat

you will need a hi thrust model ! those babies are tanks

40 lb Thrust 12V would do great on there.  20yrs ago when I used to fish out of a 13' Livingston I had a bow mount 28lb Thrust Min Kota, and it did fine on there.  Electric motors today are higher thrust and more efficient, I think a 40lb would be good.

I had a rear mount 28 lb thrust Minkota on my 10 ft, on speed setting 4 it would scoot.
I use to use the battery out of my truck. I would drive up, take out the battery and run the Minkota until it had just enough to get back to the dock, put it back in the truck and drive home, LOL

I finally bought a marine battery years later.

Don't want to thread jack, but thought beings that this was a livingston thread, I would share also. 

Just picked this thing up tonight.  Super excited to get it out on the water.  It came with a 15 hp motor and I would like to buy an electric motor for it.  How many ft / lbs of thrust would you look for with a boat like this.  It is a 12 footer.

Thanks

Nice set up    I have a 38lb thrust and I got a 46lb from my buddy who wasnt using it anymore, The 38 worked but the 46 is better. Thats all I have been using lately, havent ran my 10hp but 2 times since picking it up. Loving my boat so far!! Glad to see you finally found a nice one!! Congrats
