Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | I am by no means an expert, but let me add my opinion, if I may.....
I have a 16' deep v boat, that is very heavy, and has a lot of draft (sits very low in the water). I currently run a Minn Kota PD, With 48 pounds of thrust and has, a 48" or so shaft. This motor pulls the boat around like nobody's business. Measure from your top deck to the bottom of the boat. If it is more than 40", you have a deeper v than I do. I can set my shaft length to however deep I need it to run, and I don't use all of my shaft (no jokes, please). I'll take a pic tomorrow if I have time and post it.
