I put floors in a 16′ deep/wide starcraft with bench seats and a 35 Evinrude.I have used this boat in some good chop already this year on Mille lacs,Red and Winnie.I had a 45# on a 14’er before,it was more than enough.I want the same response as my other boat,but want to stay 12 volt.What opinions do you guys have for poundage and shaft length on my other boat?
Thanks in advance.
I’d get the Minn Kota 54″, 55lb power drive.
Kooty’s recommendation is on the money. From what I remember, it is line with recommendations from the likes of Minn Kota. You can verify the best fit for your rig on their website. One more thing. I upgraded my troller 2 years ago ( coincidentlally the 54″, 55lbs Minnkota in the 12 Volt version, with autopilot) and would highly recommend the autopilot feature. I wouldn’t buy another motor witohut it.
C-Ya!
A-MEN 2 the autopilot feature 
It can let U enjoy fishing with-out so much work.
Hopefully U r looking 4 a bow mount 
If not forget about autopilot 
Bow Mount 12 volt 55 pound 54 inch shaft
with autopilot and universal sonar 4 
Copilot is another very nice add on 
Or if you are going for a transom mount the 3X versions are exceptionally handy – after buying one I will always have one on the transom of my boats! And yes – an autopilot up front rocks too! Chuckles
