    Ok I plan on buying a $80 raft at Fleetfarm that seats 3-4 people. I also found someone who wants to sell a trolling motor for $120 with the mount since they bought a new boat with one already. I was wondering if it would be easy enough to use the motor on the raft. What will I have to do to get it set up and how fast will the boat go with this accesory? Is it practical?
