| A few ideas...
Trolling motor - Don't underpower the motor or undersize the shaft for the size of the boat. Having too short of a shaft (No jokes please!) and having it come out of the water in big waves really sucks.
Batteries - I went with the biggest & longest lasting batteries I could find. One of the best investments I have made. I have two of the Dual Pro monsters that weigh 88lbs a piece. I have gone 4 straight days on them and not run out of juice. Also No maintenance on the batteris either.
On Board Charger - very important. Talk about convenience, just plug em in and leave. Dual Pro batteries and charger stay plugged in year round. Get one that has enough banks for ALL batteries on your boat; trolling, starting, back-up.....
Electronics - Personal preference but I feel a GPS enabeled system is a must. GPS on both dash and bow is very usefull. Color systems are great for night fishing.
Back-up Prop - for both trolling motor and main engine. Not worth paying all that money to get to your destination and being stuck on a trip with no spare prop for either.
