[QUOTE="thill, post: 511133, member: 4972"] Very good write up. The ONLY thing I would add is don't go too crazy on power. Around here, some guys decided that the 36V 112 lb thrust motor would be better than a 24V 80# motor on a tin boat. Long story short, a 112# motor can be had for almost HALF of what an 80 can, because of having to run THREE batteries in a small boat. And in practice, unless you want to get thrown out of the boat, the 112 lbs of thrust are mostly wasted for a boat that is really better suited for a 55# motor. That being said, if you have a 25' sport cabin, at least you can find a good, used 112# motor for a great price! [/QUOTE]
