Aluminum Speed Boat Plans

Electric trolling motor thrust recommendation for a 14 ft aluminum boat.?

I plan to purchase a trolling motor but unsure of what size to buy. I don’t want one too large because I believe that it may use more battery than a smaller one used at the same speed. Not sure of that theory however. Anyone out there that can advise me? Thanks.
I’m looking to buy either a 40 or 55 pound thrust motor to be used only for lake trolling. Any advice on which I should purchase? I have an outboard as my primary motor.
Thanks

i have a minkota 36 lb thrust on a sylvan sea snapper 14′ it does a fine job. i can fish all day with no problem. in all kinds of weather. it pushes my boat along at about 2.6 mph full throttle. i would say that the 44 would be plenty of thrust for your boat.
my boat motor fish finder everything is now up for sale .but if i ever get another boat in the 14′ range i would probably look for a motor about the same size.any other questions i’d be happy to help longhairjim33@yahoo.com
