[QUOTE="steelerfan88, post: 316443, member: 11752"] I bought a new Alumacraft 1442 Jon and am in the process of setting it up. My plans are simple : 2 men fishing with moderate gear/tackle/cooler etc., one 55# Minn Kota 12v trolling motor, 15hp Yamaha pull start engine, navigation lights and one depth/fish finder. I'm keeping things real simple here. Would it be wise to have two (#24)batteries on board or just one big (#29 or #31) battery ? I like the idea of security of having two batteries BUT is it really needed with my simple plans ? I want to be able to fish 6-10 hours at a time. I would NOT be using the troller the whole time....just here and there to get around slowly while cast fishing for bass. Also.....should I invest in a varable speed trolling motor or just the standard 5 speed ? [/QUOTE]
