I am running a 24V MK RT80 Co-Pilot on my Carolina Skiff 21 DLX. It does a good job. That is the minimum I would run. The 101 might be a better choice.

Trolling motor advice needed

Thanks for the input and help eveybody. I went with a 24V, 82# thrust Great White, got it installed this week used it today against the wind and current and it did great. I know everyone has their people they take their boats boats to, but Don's did me great job and threw in a detail job. I was very impressed with the service and being a salesman I know customer service can be a huge pain. Again thanks everyone for your help, maybe one day I can return the favor.
