[QUOTE="justnortherns, post: 210105, member: 4019"] I'd go with the largest trolling motor that takes only 12 volts, to keep it simple. You can have a second battery around if you need it, but trolling motor performance does not scale linearly, i.e. a 110 lb thrust trolling motor will not give you twice the speed of a 55lb (or anything close to that - no trolling motor will get any reasonably sized boat up on plane). As a first step, to just get to stationary spots on a lake to fish, I'd get something around a 55 lb trolling motor that uses a single 12v deep cycle battery. [/QUOTE]
