I put the 101 on my 17' Willie. Go big, you will not be sorry. I got the electric for the same reason as you. Now that my fishing days are at a premium, I want to maximize my time on the water and not have to be stuck on the oars. If you want to have a shot at re-running drifts, and fish 2 or 3 people, you will need the 101. However, this set-up is not cheap. It requires a 36V system on board. IMHO, it is the best investment in fishing gear I have made, second only to buying my boat.
