55 with a 48 inch shaft will be plenty.
I have a 1754 Wareagle stick steer with 50 hp. I have the 55 and can pull cranks with it so plenty of power. I have the 54 in shaft. The 48 would probably work just fine but I like the added length for leverage when retrieving the motor. Have gotten used to it sticking up and it does not interfere with spider rig poles.
I had the 12v 54 in on a tracker 190 and it did everything u needed. Would go about 2.8 on high.
OK OK! Owing to the fact that last Saturday I parked at a restaurant, went inside, could not find my car keys after we sat down, went outside to see if I left them in car. I did! In the ignition with the motor running.:banghead
So, maybe I am misremembering the top speed on the Terrova. I will check again, but I stand by my statement that if you are peeing over the back and accidentally hit the rabbit button it will throw you in the water.
And you will get a bite too
The 55# will do good on your boat. I had a 55# Terrova/IP on a Tracker PT175, troll or longline all day. I moved this TM over to a Alumacraft Classic CS 165 and can/do troll all day on 1 grp27 battery, top speed has been 2.3mph/gps on both boats. I don't pull cranks with TM tho, battery will only last 2-3 hrs at those speeds.
Thanks for all the input guys. Looks like 55 it is!!!
tilt motor til barely in water and pull with the wind.
