6'6'' is the perfect length for me. All of mine except one pitching/frog rod is 6'6' spinning and casting. I was brought up using 5'6" so I guess that length is long to me.

I would say that is your problem. I am running a 1997 Johnson 90hp. The guy I bought it from used e10 gas but did use Stabil. There are 2 non ethanol gas stations close to me so I started using that gas in my motor. Since then, the boat starts better and runs better.
We have Krystal and have had White Castle. I vote Krystal since they are still around. When I was a teenager (several decades ago). I could eat a dozen Krystals. They were 10 cents then.
I would also go withe the medium but I would go with a 6'6" length. I like the shorter rods. This also might be better because you say you are fishing from the bank.
