spend the money get the biggest you can, I had a 67ld on a 15ft boat a few years ago, it was worth it. I'd get an 80ld. thats just me. either way a MG great white is gonna cost some moolah!

70lb is probably all you need, but you would never, ever regret buying the 80lb. |

I put a 55 minnkota on my 20' prodrive rig. It will just about get the boat on step. I found it at cableas in gonzales in the bargan cave. I think I gave 275 for it. no box but it did not look like it was ever used.

I'll let you know what's up when the time is right I just started new job so the new truck might be before the trolling motor but that 70 lb sounds like a nice good price and the power for windy days. The one now have changed the speed control switch least 7 times since had it barely keeps up on 5 mph wind
