[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 275409, member: 8599"] I have a 30lb minn Kota I use on my 14ft shallow car topper.. Works ok - moves about 3mph on top speed.. Really good at slow Walleye trolling speed.. Battery life has been ok, I go a weekend on a battery easy, and hook up a solar panel to help it out. But most of the time I'm on speed 1 or 2. Rule of thumb is go as big as you can afford.. A 55lb would move your boat nicely and get good battery life. [/QUOTE]
