mounting, length of shaft, stick steer, foot control or auto control as well as pounds of thrust all come into play when considering purchasing the "correct" motor.

I have a 16' fiberglass 35 HP SmokerCraft bass boat w/ edges of boat very close to the water. I figure a 42" would be sufficient. It's a bow mount, foot control. I haven't done any trolling so will probably use it for short distances and may use on river.
