Thanks. All of that was helpful. Especially the prop information. I will go to bass pro and see if I can get a motorguide hydrilla hacker prop. By the way, if I got a second motor I wouldn't run them off the same battery, I would get another battery as well. But I might try putting another motor on the front, I have been wanting a motor with foot controls anyway. I am always with two people so we should be able to work both motors. My motor and battery now last as long as we fish, pretty much all day, and it never drains down too much. I am just looking to get a little more speed, it takes forever to get to spots on the reservoire I fish on. Thanks again.

I have a 14 foot alumacraft jon boat. It's got some weight to it with the wood decks and seats and such. Right now I have a 54lb thrust motorguide electric trolling motor. I want something that will move us a little faster. I fish in a resavoire where only electric is allowed. Would it be smarter to buy a second 54lbs thrust motor and have dual motors, or to buy a 24 volt motor with around 82 lbs of thrust? Would having two motors really make a big difference, because it is much cheeper than buying a 24 volt motor? Any advice dealing with multiple trolling motors or getting the most out of electric motors would be helpful. Thanks!
