A 55 is way too small for that boat,what were they thinking? 80lb will make life alot easier.

I think he said that boat was used only in fresh water. For saltwater, need something bigger.

I got a 55 lb thrust trolling motor on my 15' boat.......and wish I had something bigger.

I just did not want to go to a second battery at that time. Maybe when it finally needs replacing.
