Mercury 115 Pro XS standard gear or CT question

[hardee]

I have an Aluminum Crestliner TC17. It is pretty much like a Bass Tracker 17.5 feet bass boat. I'm looking to repower to a 115 Pro XS. My question is do I need the standard gear or the command thrust? The boat is about 1100 pounds, normal use, fishing and duck hunting. Most of the time just 2 people in the boat? Would I benefit from any size hydraulic jack plate? Any help is appreciated.

Command thrust gives you a lot more propeller options to choose from
