I mounted a 24 volt 71lb thrust MotorGuide on my 170CC simply because I run into a lot of current on the Potomac River when the tides go out. If you fish in calmer waters, you can get by with less. I did, however, remove the bow rail and install the smaller grab rails on the side. Some of the newer ones may be able to deploy the motor by going under the bow rail before tilting. Something to check out.
