DO NOT BUY A 55lb THRUST!
Trust me - buy a 70 or 80 pound 24v.
54-60" shaft too.


Disagree with this.

For a 600 lb boat, a 55 lb thrust will be more than enough.

I have run a 17.5' deep V with a 55 lb Powerdrive for over 10 years and as a bassguy I run the TM nonstop. Plus, my boat is 2x as heavy as your's. About the only time I ever remember the motor not being strong enough was in some 35 mi/hr winds.
