IMO....you will catch more fish with a 70+ lb trust trolling motor.

I kept hoping that the old 55 lb TM would break so I could justify replacing it with a bigger TM.
The 55 lb TM I have referred to was on an Aluminum 15' by 43" boat. It drafted about 6+ inches.

We will just have to agree to disagree on what size trolling motor is need on this boat.
