Minn Kota help

I fish out of a 17.5 ft Crestliner fish/ski and I just wanted to make sure 55 lb thrust and 55 inch shaft would be sufficient? Ideas? Thank you.

Andy I have two of the 55 lbs (only use one at a time  ) and they work fine on my 18 ft Whaler and I'm sure with all my stuff in it that it is a lot heavier than you'll be dealing with . It clips right along on the #5 (high) setting but I use 3 or 4 most of the time (more economical of the battery). It is great for sneaking up on the perch and "hovering" too.

I'm sure the 55 will be fine, but never hurts to have more ...I'll bet if you went to a 24v unit you would end up happy with your decision.
