Yes you do need a full size battery when using a motor. I have an old leigh that I have rigged up for motor and etc...
I do put a lot of stuff on it from rods to gear. I weigh 215, add battery, motor, rods, tackle, fishfinder, etc... the weight does add up and the toon holds everything.
Pics attached.
The pics are of the old setup that I replaced this year with a new motor rack similar to the one shown. Just changed how the rod holders attach to the rack.
When looking for a toon check the weight capacity then add about 50 lbs. The manufacturers generally under rate the weight their craft can hold for legal reasons. I would go for one that can hold around 350 depending upon how big a guy you are. There are many different brands out there, find one that you like!
Hope this helps.
