Two suggestions, make sure the prop will stay in the water when you get into waves and get the most power you can fit on the boat. I picked up a used 16 ft tuffy with a 44 lb unit. It will work but in a wind I would like a little more.

You should be able to get up to about 55 lbs on a 12 volt system. I will be looking in that range when I get the money to change out the one I have now.
