shawn's right about the motor. Someone I know has a 30lb thrust on a 12' jon boat and it goes pretty slow with the two of us in it. I would recommend maybe 55 lb. thrust, which is only $40 more than the 45 lb if you're talking about the minn Kota c2. That 55lb thrust motor is on sale at dick's right now for only $200, 30 bucks off! Concerning fishfinders, you might wanna try the lowrance elite 3x ($100). It has a color display and is LED backlit. The screen is small though, and if you're looking for a larger screen you could try the Humminbird Helix 5, which goes for about 200. Do you want down imaging or just regular sonar?
