is this strong enough

[dragula65000]

I have an 18' hydr sport with a 175 johnson on the back. I'm looking at getting a new minn kota bow mount trolling motor. Would 46 punds of thrust be enough to move me around good without killing itself?

Hi, Dragula.<br /><br />55lb. would be a lot better.

JBs right, I have an 18' Bass Boat, and it has a 45# Minn Kota on it (came with the boat) Its not enough when its windy. At least 55, and more if you can afford it.
