For someone without the dual use I have (my airplanes run on either 3S or 6S packs) I'd certainly go the 14.8V power/garden tool battery route too. Much simpler with an added safety factor.
My system will be the lightest weight (because airplane batteries are built that way) with the downside of some additional monitoring during use. My tube's fish finder has a voltage display option I always use for a fuel gauge anyway.
And I already have the proper chargers for the airplanes too.
I have some ideas to experiment with much lighter weight brushless DC motors that should dramatically improve range with greater efficiency.
Where there is an option to use a boat ramp near the fishing hole, the heavier equipment has the clear advantages.
