Trolling Motor Thrust Requirements

[keninaz]

I am about to pick up a Lowe 1467 WT aluminum boat (14' deep V). Most of the time I figure the boat will carry two people, a 9.9 HP gas motor and maybe another 150 of stuff.
So to make up for wind at the lakes how many # of thrust would you suggest?

40 - 55# now mount.

OK and Thanks.
