Hi Tom,
         Mike already brought it to the board, but a GPS is a geat for trolling.  It helps you duplicate your trolling pass and will allow you to wavepoint the area when you have a rip-fish.  I have areas were I have ten wavepoints on top of one another.  These wavepoints help you develope patterns throughout the season.  As far as a boat, If you're going to be running down sharp breaks with several turns and underwater points----run a tiller.  If you're going to be fishing open water or gradual breaklines--- a steering console will be fine.  If you're going to troll the majority of the time, think about a mast system(with OR-19 clips).  These help spread out your baits and able you to fish six baits were it is legal.  This system is only for an open water system since you can't make sharp turns. -- As far as rod holders, Down East rod holders are excellent.  Also, if you can afford it, a four stroke is an excellent option. It's quite, fuel efficient, and are reliable motors.  Good luck on your search and feel free to call  630-244-0358
