The problem with those are the battery life. For 1k you only get 1hr+ run time at full throttle. You can buy a minn kota 45lb trolling motor and mod it to fit the drive well and with a marine battery you can get 4 hrs at full throttle running almost 4.5 mph+. That setup only runs about $360 depending on where you source your stuff. I know of a couple other guys that run the same setup
