[cool][#0000ff]There is no easy answer for best size. It depends on what kind of fishing you plan to be doing and how much you will be using the battery and motor. If it is strictly a backup propulsion system, you can get by with the small wheelchair size batteries. Mine was only about 24 pounds. Just make sure they are deep cycle.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]But, if you will be using your motor to get you further from your launch point...and back...with the potential for some light trolling...you should get the biggest and best battery you can afford...and which will still fit on your tube.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am sending you a writeup on Motorizing a Float Tube. That should help with some of your questions.[/#0000ff]
