I have an older style 32lbs thrust motor and find it eats batteries pretty quick.

I will be upgrading to a newer style one hopefully this summer sometime.

Just by using one of these newer style motors should help get a longer day on the water out of any battery you decide to go with.
I currently have a min-kota 50lb with 36 inch leg. Im going to keeo it for the 14ft tinner at our cabin. I want to buy the C2 min kota 30lb with the 30 inch leg as the other one is way to big for my frog boat. You can check out my boat at www.onefrogtwo.com
