The Manager was totally right and was just trying to do you a favour. A 55 on a 19ft boat is way to light.
It will troll on a dead calm day but how many of those do we get in Alberta. You will also find that you are running the motor at 70% which is hard on the motor and drains a 12 volt battery faster. If it was me I'd go with at least a 24 volt 80lb model with the 60 inch shaft. Longer shaft keeps the motor in the water when the waves come up.
