I would either go with the Minn Kota 65 lbs 24 volt Power Drive or the 74 pound 24 volt Power Drive.

These are great trolling motors and the low profile foot pedel is SO much easier on your back and hips after a long day/weekend on the water.

Minn Kota Power Drive in either the 65 or 74 pound thrust is the way to go. Also, don't go with a 12-v trolling motor, you will wish you had the extra power. Go with a 24 volt.

Also the auto-pilot is a great feature, when it works. After a year or two on the trolling moter the auto pilots will get a little goofy on you. I like to keep trolling motors as simple as possible.

Also go with the 54 or 60 inch shaft.

Here is the Minn Kota link for the Power Drive: http://www.minnkotamotors.com/products/motors/fw_bowmount/powerdriv...
