Hi Doug,
That MinKota should work well. My first electric sailboat project was an Ericson 23 with a MotorGuide 109 Great White (36 volt 105# thrust). It gave me about 4 knots at full power. The longest I motored with it was only about 45 minutes. It had decent power for moderate winds (20 knots). You might want to play around with props I ended up with a Kipawa prop that gave me a bit better top end speed.
