For me weather might be the only consideration with that if time isnt as issue for you.Would highly recommend 2 or even three big batteries if thats your main engine. Bigger boat, but one group 31 absolutely does not cut it for me on a breezy day, and Im only using it for positioning, not trolling with it. Ive had trolling motors crap out, but never mid-day, its always been between seasons. as long as batteries are good and plenty of juice Id be fine with oars as a backup on a small tin boat.</blockquote>
