No Plans for more solar panels at this time. I don't want it to much top heavy weight. It will go a average of 5 mph all day long like it is. Yes... I am running a newer computer controlled Min Kota Endura Max that is much more efficient then the older rheostat type electric trolling motors. The only change I will be making in the future is to switch from lead acid batteries to Lithium batteries which will provide higher speeds for longer distances with less charge amps needed while reducing battery weight by 70%....

As you can see on my website I have completed 100 miles of the Columbia River and plan to complete another 100 to 200 miles this summer so it works extremely well as it is right now.
