If it were me, I would purchase a 55 lb thrust motor and it would be a Motorguide. A 55 lb thrust motor will be a 12 volt system. Beyond 55 lb you'd need to move to a 24 volt system that would require two 12 volt batteries for the trolling motor. A 24 volt motor would offer around 80 to 90 lbs of thrust. Unless you're going to use your boat in heavy currents or strong winds, I'd opt for a 55 lb motor.

There is no direct correlation of thrust to horsepower. Horsepower is a measurement of "work" being performed. Thrust is simply a static measurement of force. In other words, "Thrust" and "Horsepower" measure two totally different things.
they have 36 Lbs http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL151/1993630/18514168/332000756.jpg
There are several places where you can buy a Motorguide Trolling Motor. You can visit the Motorguide website, or you can purchase a Trolling Motor direct from specialist boat companies in your location.
The size of wire needed for a trolling motor depends on the motor's maximum amperage draw and the length of the wire run. A general guideline for a 12V trolling motor is 6-gauge wire for runs up to 10 feet, 4-gauge wire for runs up to 20 feet, and 2-gauge wire for runs over 20 feet to minimize voltage drop and ensure proper performance. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific trolling motor.
