I'm about to purchase my first boat and I'll need a trolling motor obviously, but am not exactly sure on what size to get. Is there a "rule of thumb" for sizing a trolling motor to a specific length of boat? I'm getting a 16' crestliner fishhawk, am I looking at a minimum of 55 lbs?

Also, 24v versus 12v...which do you prefer and if I were to go with the 24v route, will an onboard charger charge the 24v battery and the remaining 12v batteries at the same time with the same charger?
