l replaced all the wood decks in my boat with Sheet Metal. They have held up alot better, and they can handle any amount of water you throw at them. As for the motor, my 16 footer runs flawlessly on a bow mount Minn Kota-55 lb. Thrust. I can troll with it up to speeds of 3.0 mph. They sell on-board chargers for your battery for a few hundred dollars. Sportsmans has them, I would think it would be worth the $$$ rather than charging the batteries after every trip.
