Re: shrimp trawl
thought about it myself a time or two. i would go with a 16ft, its big enough to catch alot but no too big that the motor won't pull it. just remember you need torque to pull it not speed.

Re: shrimp trawl
16' would be max, but you could get into all the lil canals and back bays, if they runnin right, you should mop up

Re: shrimp trawl
I think 16' would work good. Thinking about doing this myself in the marsh.
Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to run a worn out prop.
It'll let you motor turn up a little giving you a little more torque IMO.
With that small of a trawl it's a good idea to have a bib on top.
Catch a few big ones that ussually you don't catch in a small trawl.
