    An 80# would work as well but you will need two group 31's to go with it. Most try to go up to the 101# if they can afford it and have the room for the third battery with 18 footers on up.

    Realistically, how long will 2 group 27 batts last pulling cranks using a 24v. trolling motor running at 3/4 speed during a fairly still day? Also, how fast is a common speed for pulling cranks?

    I've got an 18' Stratos boat and I used to use a 24v Powerdrive trolling motor. It was 70# thrust and I could get around 4 hrs. of crank pullin out of a pair of group 27 Wal Mart batteries. I troll at 1.6 to 1.7 mph usually. I've now upgraded to a 101 lb, 36v Terrova.

    I have a 18 foot Skeeter and my 12v motor guide at 52lb does pretty good.

    I recommend you get a 80 Lb. 24v. Change your battery trays out to the larger size and get two good group 31 deep cycle batteries and a real good on board charger to charge and maintain them with and you will be OK.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.
