Just ordered a 2012 Stingray 195 FX. Trying to get some recommendations on trolling motors and fish finders. Dealer recommended a 55lb Motor Guide. I was looking to go wireless, but he said he didn't think wireless would work on this platform. Anyone using a wireless trolling motor on fishnski platform? What about 55lb thrust. That's what I had on an 18' aluminum. Will it move a boat this size?
On the electronics, I am leaning toward a Lowrance Elite 4 or Elite 5. Thoughts on these two units or something similar? More importantly, where is the best place to mount the display? Not a lot of room right of the cockpit. Thanks for any input or guidance.

I believe a 55lb motor would move the boat good. The hull design will move through the water easier then a flat bottom aluminum boat.

Not sure on the best location for electronics.
