Need answers for a few questions for new boat!?

I am purchasing a Lund 1750 Outfitter with either a 40 or 50 horsepower motor.
I need to know how to determine what thrust on a trolling motor i need. I was thinking the new Minn Kota Terrovora 80/AP or the PowerDrive V2 70/AP? Im not sure if that is too much thrust?
Another question is what motor a two or four stroke and what brand?
Thanks in advance

HI you will get many many answers as to which motor and the pros and cons of 2 v 4 stroke.
I have had Johnsons, evinrudes, Mercurys and a Mariner.
Two and 4 strokes. Which did i prefer… Well… all had goo points all had bad points..
For example I had a 150 hp merc new 2006 and a new 2006 15 hp merc as a kicker. Both never had a problem.. Both were new and serviced regularly. Thats the important thing make sure you service them and follow all the recomendations.
I have had a 1965 johnson 25hp… it ran like new. Because it had been maintained. The evinrude was a pig at first… and needed a few new parts but then with regular maintainance it was great.
I know have a 1972 Johnson 50hp on a old sportcraft. Its getting there but i have had to work on it but the work has been easy because its a two stroke and lots of help available. on the internet.
It doesnt really matter in my view as to which is the best motor its basically what service can you expect…. there are more marinas that work on two strokes than 4 strokes. I was told that by a Mercury dealer. 4 strokes tend to be a little more expensive to repair. and require more fewent services.
But they run cleaner and are more economical on gas.
So basically go with the motor that suits your needs. Go with the larger HP you will not have to run it at full throttle ( WOT wide open throttle) to maintan the same speed as you would with a 40 hp. Also you will use be putting less strain on the motor too….
As per trolling motor … go for the largest thrust you can afford.. You may not need the top end all the time but you can always use the extr thrust if your main motor dies in the water at least the hight thrust trolling motor will get you back to the ramp….
Good luck with your purchase and remember what the term BOAT means…. Break Out Another Thousand…..
