I have a 29 to power a Minn kota Edge, which is also a 45 lb thrust motor, and I use it on a much heavier boat than yours. I've put it through some hard fishing trips this year and never ran it down below a 50% charge.The only real reason to get the 29 would be if you are planning some very long days of fishing in difficult conditions, like a whole lot of wind or current. But it is almost the same price, and only a little heavier, so the bigger one might be the better choice. Your idea of putting the outboard in the middle of the transom and the trolling motor to the left is exactly the way most fishermen would set it up. I fished in a boat like this with my father back in the 60s and 70s, and it will certainly work. It is not the easiest way to fish, but it most certainly will work. Good luck with it!</blockquote>
