I do not think that the extra weight of having two batteries will be a problem, or will it slow down the boat. I had the exact same Nitro Bass boat, and it came and e with a 70 lb trust MinnKota and 70 LB trust was not enough. I upgraded to a 108 LB trust Minnakota, and it had no problems in the heavy current of the Columbia River. You need to remember that if you upgrade past your 70 LB trust motor to a higher trust motor like mine if you just set the speed to one on the foot pedal ad least be getting 60 lb of thrust and at the setting of two your boat be getting somewhere in the 90lb trust area and just the 90 lb trust will be all that you need, and the other speeds will almost be useless put still ready is needed even if you had three batteries in your boat. I had a two battery setup on my 108 trust motor, and it pulled my 14-foot Nitro just fine, and it was only set to speed two. Even my old 70 LB Minnkota would pull my two battery setup without a struggle.

Will a high-thrust transom motor jack knife a 14-foot aluminum boat even if set to the slowest speed, I need the higher trust for my river fishing, but I also need a slow speed for casting and trolling in lakes I just don't want to go airborne. I will mostly be using it for bass fishing in the Columbia in Oregon with heavy current, but I do not need a trolling motor that goes faster than I need it to when set to a low setting. But once again, I need a motor that has at least 70 LB thrust for the heavy current and running tide at times without the airtime.
