shopping for a trolling motor help please???

[Biglew]

I have a 28# on my pontoon, and the problem I have had to address is not being able to troll SLOW enough to fish with flies. I had to make myself a trolling plate out of plastic pipe fittings to slow it down enough to fish deep, with flies, effectively. Larger motors consume battery power more rapidly than smaller ones. Going fast, with an electric has never been a consideration. If you rely on an electric to get you out of trouble on a windy lake, it won't matter if it's 50# or 30#. You won't be going fast enough.
