My quick answer would be no. 55# is marginal at best on breezy days. which wind blows more often than not. But that brings me to the battery situation. Money fixes that as lipo batt would be lighter to haul back and forth. You just got to figure out which demon you fight. Small troller or weight lifting batteries. My 22 foot Lowe pontoon has 84# Motorguide which does well but a pontoon can blow around like a sailboat so you have to give it power to control. Good luck and let us know how you do.
