[QUOTE="dyeguy1212, post: 190283, member: 1460"] Welcome to tinboats! I primarily bass fish, so I can't give you too much advice on trolling, but I have owned a couple 55 pound trolling motors and they should do just fine with a 12 footer. I just bought a new one for my 17 footer, and I'm confident it'll be more than enough power. As for batteries, I'd suggest a Cabela's AGM if you have a store near by. They're a little pricey, but they last years, require no maintenance, and have more power than the top of the line Optima batteries. If you're on a budget, I've had good luck with Bass Pro brand deep cyles, and OK experiences with Walmart deep cycles. These do require you to keep the water levels up, and while many like the Walmart brand, I had one die within one season on me. Switched to Cabela's AGMs and never looked back. [/QUOTE]
