When you say "thrust," I can only assume you're talking electric. You'll run your battery(s) dead in a hurry using an electric to move from spot to spot. Get a small gas outboard to move around, and an electric with at least 45-50 pounds of thrust to fish with. The more thrust, the more amps you need from your batteries. 24 volt systems last longer, but might be overkill for a 14-footer.
If you originally meant "horsepower" instead of thrust, see what the boat is rated for first. I've run 14-footers with a 25, and they troll down well, and run quick wide open. That's what I'd do. 25 hp outboard, 50 pound-thrust electric.
