I'd say you'd be limited to plowing at ~10mph. A 35hp would be the bare minimum IMO.Battery power certainly has it's applications, but the energy to weight ratio is very less than ideal for the marine world at this time.I'd say any 24v trolling motor would be more than enough for that size boat. I have always ran Minn kotas and have had little trouble, I've also spent a couple hours running a Garmin Force and liked it as well, just couldn't justify the price for how I fish.</blockquote>
