[QUOTE="Sharpix, post: 231507, member: 6051"] From a 12' electric only fisherman. Get a 55 if you can, better if you prefer those "digital" or "maximizer"models from MK or MG. They save battery at the middle speed ranges by using electronic speed controllers. Minnkota Maxxum have built in battery gauge. Very useful! The cheaper 5-speed preset models really suck. They use coils to lessen the current for the slower speeds, killing battery, making unecessary heat, blah blah blah. A solid 55lbs digital model, 12V can serve for most of the tasks, and even have a bigger propeller *more efficient* than 45lbs models. Spend your money wisely, one buy for many many years. [/QUOTE]
