I have the same Minn Kota (70 lb, 24 volt) as Dubob on my Lund 1775 Adventure and its barely enough some days. In a 15 mph wind the motor runs 80% to 90% power to maintain .7 mph.
I agree on getting the longest shaft that will fit in your boat, in 2 ft of chop my motor sucks air and looses most forward momentum.
Despite the occasional shortcoming of my Minn Kota I really like it. I spent 12 hours trolling at Willard, spread over three days, and didn't run the batteries dead.
