] When you choose your boat you should get a motor that is big enough to get you out of trouble should inclement weather show up. But at the same time you also need to be concerned about horse power restricted lakes of which there are several here in Indiana. We also have a lot of state owned and managed lakes that are restricted to electric only, They are restricted to 10 hp or less, so the final decision should be where you fish the most if it is a power restricted lake then get the biggest motor that is legal on that particular lake and then if you should go to a much larger impoundment watch the weather for storms and keep an eye on the wind. The bigger the lake the taller the waves. Personally I like my tracker. Just want a bigger motor but that follows the if I have this I want that rule. If they have it get a four stroke in your motor size and preference.
