trolling motor

So I am looking to get ready for some off season improvements the 1st is radar and the benefit is instant (safety) .. but the 2nd requires a bit more of a conversation of the Benefits VS Cost

So here is the set up 72in shaft 24V 80lb of thrust ($ 2900.00) on my 234 sea hunt (lite boat like 2500 lbs ) and 24v 50AH lithium Battery they are like 1000.00 and weigh 31lbs

2 agm blue tops are 120lbs and still 750 bucks... and where to put them

Not sure if anyone is running one of these bow mounted set ups and if they are happy or just ok , or it it provided any benefit at all

Because I am thinking where i fish in the river. The ability to camp on a spot and school of bass seabass or tog rather than run up and drift back 100 times hoping i hit the correct drift . same with haddock or even holding waiting for pogies to come by ..

What I am trying to avoid is spending all that cash to use it maybe hell i could buy a nice 130 set up for Tuna for 1\2
