My Dad Got A Minn Kota Modle 35 Bigfoot 2 With 25 Lbs Thrust Will That Work For A 16 Foot Aluminum Boat Or Should I Go Bigger Its Mounted On The Back Of The Boat Its To Short For The Front I Dont Think It Will Reach The Water If Its On The Front Of The Boat Will That Work Thanks

It may be too small, but the only way to find out is to try it. I'd also try it on the front-when the boat is in the water it may work just fine. I'd bet the shaft is going to be long enough to work on the front unless it was shortened.

That Shaft Is Pretty Short It Was Never Tamperd With But Its Got Like C Clamps On It To Mount On The Back I Cant See How The C Clamps Could Mount On The Bow

OH BY THE WAY ITS PRETTY OLD BUT BRAND NEW MY DAD NEVER USED IT BUT BOUGHT IT ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO

I'd try it on the front, and if it won't work just switch it to the stern.

Did you really need to capitalize the first letter in every word?

16 foot aluminum boat and the TM wont reach water on the front? What is this, a cast aluminum miniture replica of the Titanic?

YOU WERE, ROOKIE.

See the difference? It almost makes my eyes hurt to READ WHOLE SENTENCES/PARAGRAPHS IN CAPITALS.

It will work fine on back, you won't win any races, but that's not what pleasure fishing is all about. You can always upgrade later when your ready.

It also helps if you use punctuation!
