It's a Lund 1890 ProV, which I assume is 18'9" long, but I don't have a clue how much it weighs. The trolling motor is a MinnKota Riptide 107 lbs thrust and it's a 36V system. If you do anything, get more motor HP than you think you will need and more trolling motor thrust than you think you will need. I say that because I fished out of the Tracker V17 with a 50HP for 10 years, before I put a rebuilt 70 HP on it and it was like a different boat with the appropriate motor HP on it. Make sure you DON'T GO 12V on the trolling motor, get 24V minimum and if the boat will support the weight and has the storage, a 36V system runs all day.
