1978 starcraft seafarer
 
I just bought a 1978 14' starcraft seafarer in excellent condition.
I'm looking to buy an minn kota electric trolling motor for it.
I don't want to undersize the motor, thinking about the vector 55.
I'll be doing mostly small lake fishing where electric motors are only
allowed. Any opinions?
Is my boat considered a deep or modified V hull?

Just got a e-mail back from MinnKota, they recommend 2 pounds of
thrust per 100 pds. weight.
Say 1,000 lbs. boat (loaded)
20 lb. thrust motor??
Am I wasting my money by upgrading to 55 lbs. of thrust?
