[QUOTE="ccm, post: 359866, member: 13447"] Might be just a tad overkill for a 12ft boat. A 24 volt motor in the 65 - 80lb range will pull your boat along through anything you might encounter. I know the 101 has more than enough power to pull my Dad's Skeeter SX200 in heavy wind & waves. The main reasons for most anglers going to a 36 volt system is for power & longevity of batteries ( less amps are pulled so batteries last longer ). But with a light aluminum boat such power is not needed because it takes less thrust over to move boat [b]C[/b] so far at [b]X[/b] amount of speed vs. a larger heavier boat. In my opinion such power is not necessary for boats under 16ft. When I can afford to upgrade I'm going to try to find a good used 80lb thrust bow mount for my 14ft v hull. [/QUOTE]
