Motor mounted ok? I may end up with an Min Kota EM54, does 54lbs of thrust on 24v. Someone posted motor drag..etc is an issue.

1) You're heavy - 2K is a lot of weight and if current is a factor. Boom, you need 24V.

2) This ain't cheap. Think 1K , new, installed with 2 batts and quick detach. Rough guess.

3) With a bow rider, you're fishing space is gonna be very limited, but he foot pedal and AP feature would let you long line, spider rig or even pull cranks from the back.

One other thought, you might could get away with a 55# 12V, but given your weight and height to fight the wind with, you're gonna need 2 batts anyway to give you the staying power. Might as well go with 24V and get the speed that can be had anyway.
