I was looking at electric trolling motors today at Cabelas. I asked the gentleman at the counter about the difference in thrust and he asked me what I was putting it on.
When I told him what I have he appeared to have guessed and said "about 45". Right in the middle of what they sell. He was very nice but I'm not sure if he was guessing or if he really knows.
He still didn't answer my question about the difference in each motor.
So I have a 16 foot semi-v jon boat. I have put a carpeted floor in it so it has a little extra weight but not much. The boat is welded aluminum so it is on the heavy side anyway.
What lb of thrust would you put on it.
I don't know that I plan on actually trolling with it but more of getting in to places to catch bass and panfish, as well as fishing shallows.
