Hello,
I am a new owner of a 1981 13ft. SmokerCraft aluminum, flat bottom, canoe. I want to use a 30# electric trolling motor. I am concerned about the lack of a keel on the bottom of my canoe. Is a keel necessary? I am disabled and have a hard time paddling thus the need for a motor. Also, I read somewhere that there is no need for a motor mount on an aluminum boat…that I can mount the motor directly to the side of the boat. Is this true? Thanks in advance for any answers. Ron
on your other post …

Long answer , see other forum ok …
