I figure with a trolling motor, i'd be able to get into the 12-16'' waters and be able to get out without dredging my way out.
im gonna look up some what do you reccommend. Birthday's coming up

80lb 24 volt should do you fine, my opinion anything over 20' should have a 101 on it
I have a Minn Kota Riptide 80 on my 18.4 Blue Wave and it jerks it around nicely. Also invest in an on board batt charger, so worth it!! I only have a 2 bank and it's on my trolling batts no need to have one on my cranking batt I haven't charged it since I bought my boat and still goin strong with radio, gps, talon and livewell sucking off the cranking batt
