I looked at this one at Academy awhile back.

Are you going to change to a weedless prop? If you fish a lot of grass you may want to. If you do go weedless you are going to lose some power. I have a 45 lb on my alumacraft 16 with the four blade weedless prop. It does pretty good with a hot battery and if you are fighting the wind and grass you will get about 5-6 hours good run time. If your going to run in open water, I'd leave the factory prop on.
