[QUOTE="redbug, post: 35292, member: 71"] After returning from my vacation and having a 34lb thrust motor on the 1448 john boat i was using not be worth a crap in the 25mph winds i was fishing in I would suggest getting the biggest motor that is in your budget. I would look at a 45 to 54lb thrust motor that is the largest you can get in a 12 volt. As far as a battery goes if you are going to fish electric only lakes I would go with a 27 group deep cycle. some guys may suggest the agm batteries, but all you need is a wet cell deep cycle. be sure to charge it up as soon as you can after use and keep the cells full with distilled water.
