Transom mount trolling motors

[Lunker777]

Hey all

 

I'm going to start looking for a trolling motor for my 12' boat.

 

I don't know which would be best for my situation. Its obviously a small boat. But I want to be able to keep it if I move up in size to a 14 or 16' aluminum.

 

I'm going to be fishing Rondeau bay mostly, and the shallows have a lot of weeds... so I'm thinking I'll need a pretty high LB thrust to get through the weeds ?

 

Does the higher the thrust mean the faster it goes ? or just the more bottom end / ability to get through the weeds it has ?

 

Also, I think if we go on some lakes up north, I want to be able to use the electric troller for troller as opposed to the gas one, what sort of battery would be best for this application ?

 

Price is a concern, but all will be considered !

 

Thanx for any help :D
