I just bought a 14ft jon boat that came with a trailer and a 12v 55 lb thrust Minn Kota prop. No battery though. I plan on using it to take my kids fishing on the lakes and ponds around me that are electric only so it would be my sole source of propulsion. What battery would you recommend without breaking the bank. Should I get two or would one be sufficient? How heavy are they? I would be sitting in the back and obviously the heaviest person. Should I have the battery in the front? Also I read somewhere that I need a circuit breaker and a box for it?
Here is what I was looking at:
