I would be looking for a minimum 80, and over 100 is better. The more power you have, the longer the battery will last, since the motor isnt working at 100%

46lb is barely enough for my 15' tri-hull.

It will push it, but very slowly. What do you want to accomplish with this setup?

Only for trolling downwind.
