Trolling motor for scout 177

Anybody here have a trolling motor on scout 177? If so I’m wondering what lb thrust & shaft length you’d reccomend. Scout reccomends 80 but seems like a little too much and would hate to have the extra battery if not absolutely necessary. Any info would help! Thanks

On some days a 112# ain’t go’na work! Go as big as you can afford!

55# will not be a good fit on that boat

IF I RESPOND IN ALL CAPS, ITS NOT ON PURPOSE, AND I AM NOT YELLING

I have the 80# 24 volt minnkota with ipilot and it works great. I have had no problems with it working with the anchor setting in a fast/strong tide swing. Shouldnt be an issue at all. It pulls my 177 around with no problem.
