If your going to cut a lot of holes i like the Strikemaster lazer 8 in.. Light and cuts fast. Get the lazer pro cuts even faster. If its just a couple of holes outside or in a wheelhouse the propane would be nice.

But i just seen it says Iowa for your location. If thats where youll be doing most of your fishing then a ION or even a cordless drill would work. So many options now im getting fired up...
