Your boat is 80lbs or so heavier than mine and a 44lb Motorguide will s l o w l y push me + dad upstream. In the slack water it moves at an okay pace but in riffles or bottlenecks slows down a lot.
Some of that I believe is due to my battery charger or trolling motor not working as efficiently anymore (its old). I say that because me and another guy about dad's size fished the Obey under generation when the water was all the way up the the Hazard sign at the campground ramp. We put in and trolled up to the Dam from there. Never have figured out what it doesn't do better on the Caney other than not getting fully charged by my charger anymore.
