I finally have a line on a local boat in good shape. A 12' V-hull with little on water use. I own a suitable sized outboard (8hp) but most of the local lakes are electric only. Luckily a 55# thrust trolling motor and two group 27 batteries are also in the stable.
So in planning for this new boat, are there things you would do differently knowing most of the time you will be using a trolling motor only? The Mrs. doesn't fish, and I do only on occasion but we spend a lot of time on the water. The major components at this point would be a bimini top, comfortable seats, and decent audio. The hard core fishing stuff like a live well etc are not a priority.
