I have a Minn Kota Endura 30 that I use on a 14ft Jon boat for piddling around some lights in PC occasionally. I don't do anything more than hose it off with everything else when I get back and it's been great. Salt water hasn't been a problem. Also, I bought a deep cycle Everstart from wal mart for ~$75 and it's still going after almost 3 years. I just keep it on a trickle charger at the house most of the time. I would be a little worried about the weight of both in the back, but I've never been in a KC.
If you want to take a test drive in it down here with these two and see what works, it would be fine with me. They're just sitting around the garage most of the time anyway.

Thanks speck. That 27 class everestart might be the ticket for now. Good to know that it can stand up to the salt.

24 should be fine, but I'd go with the 27, unless you are concerned about the difference in weight. I'd also go with the 40Lb thrust. You never know when you'll need that extra 10 lbs of thrust to get out of something... It doesn't matter if it's a jon boat, or a full blown bay boat, ALWAYS go with the biggest trolling motor / battery you can. I would have a 36 volt 108 on my 18 ft bass boat, but I don't have room for the 3rd battery. (using 29 series) I've got an 80# 24 volt, when that 40 would probably push it.
ETA: that box is nice, but a milk crate works fine, if you can get one... also more room to put some stuff in it...

A poster on TD showed me the nucanoe plug and play packages. I'll be using these for sure.

I'd go with a 27 with the most reserve capacity. It'll show as RC 150 or whatever. Make sure battery charger is compatible with the battery AGM or lead acid otherwise the charger can ruin the battery.
