ABSTRACT:
A light-weight fishing boat is provided including an electric trolling motor mounted from one end portion thereof for actuation and steering control thereof by a fisher person disposed on the boat hull and the other end of the boat hull supports a stationary rudder panel exteriorly of the boat and below the water line thereof with the rudder panel being of the non-steerable type, disposed in a plane generally paralleling the longitudinal center line of the boat and having a periphery enclosing a rudder panel area of at least 115 square inches. The rudder panel stabilizes the light-weight fishing boat against wind action on the associated boat hull end and allows precise movement, positioning and orientation of the light-weight boat hull by the operator of the electric trolling motor with a minimum amount of power consumed by the trolling motor.
