What size of boat is this good for. I have a 20’ boat

Weight: The most important thing to consider when choosing trolling motor thrust. The general rule of thumb is that you need at least 2 lbs. of thrust for every 100 lbs. of fully-loaded boat weight (fuel, gear, people included) Example: 2,000lb boat = (2000lb / 100) x 2 = 40lbs of thrust (minimum) When it comes to trolling motor thrust, it's better to have more power than not enough.

Is there a spot-lock function if I have a smartphone or i-pilot remote control?

You have to buy the attachment for co-pilot. The connection is there but it doesn't come with anything but the remote control

Is this a 48 or a 54?

This a 55lb thrust, 12 volt trolling motor with a 48" shaft.
