"each time you go when in waves on the high setting, the motor pushes so hard that it flexes the bow of the boat ( on top )..." If that is a fiberglass boat, I'd be concerned about it too....like, how well the boat was built.

Since a couple of lakes you fish are electric motor only, I'd look for a trolling motor that won't use a lot of battery. I'm a little out dated, but the Minnkota Maxxum with variable speed might be worth looking at. Not sure of cost, etc., but I wouldn't go with anything less than a 70.
