It probably would be best to take the boat to a lake and test it out. Not only would you see how everything performs, but you would get an idea how easy (or difficult) it is to launch and load the boat. Although I don't know, I would expect a fiberglass boat to push a little easier than an aluminum (at least around 1989)....just a guess. Anyway, I would suggest to test it out to see if it meets your needs.
As to trolling motors, if the 40lb Edge seems too small, I'd go with the Maxxum 55. I believe that is the largest for 12 volt system with the Maxxum. The Maxxum appears to save on batteries from running down as much.
good luck.
