big boat trolling motor options?

[madman2021]

we have a custom built 26 foot(30 foot with fan tail) flat boat with a cabin on it. we use it for both fishing and hunting. for the last 30 years it has been an issue with fishing off it due to not having a trolling motor. what options do we have for trolling motors to power this beast? who makes the biggest trolling motor? we would prefer a bow mount with the little remote control to control it.

thanks for any info

Minnkota and MotorGuide both have 100# plus motors. They are 36 volt units so you would need three large deep cycle batteries in series to power it.

i know they would work in calm weather but i wonder how they would do in a breeze
