Looking for a good trolling motor for a 14ft v bottom. Going to buy it new I found a 30lb thrust at Academy MK for 99.99. Think this will be good for my boat.http://www.academy.com/index.php?page=content&target=products/outdoors/marine/trolling_motors&start=0&selectedSKU=0143-03793-0030

I have that same trolling motor, and the 30lb seems to push me along just fine even on the days the windsurfers are smiling. Another cool feature is the fact that you can turn the handle around with a simple screw adjustment. I have yet to wear out a battery as well even fishing all day. The only gripe I have for this model with a deep v, is the 30" shaft. Mine is BARELY long enough to use on the transom, and I have yet to use it on the bow but intend to this season.

Hope it helps!

Thats what I needed I was going to buy one that folds up on the deck but I have a hard time spending more money on a trolling motor than I did for the whole boat. Plus I think that thing would have been a little much for my boat.

Thanks
