[QUOTE="jethro, post: 467137, member: 12381"] I agree, buy as big as you possibly can afford and fit batteries for. The 24 and 36v motors dramatically increase your runtime, so consider that. If an average day is 10-14 hours of fishing, like mine often are, you may want a 24v system. And you say you fish the salt so that means you see wind. I would look for bigger than a 55lb motor personally, but only you can decide how important it is to you. If you pick and choose your fishing days you can go without wind and maybe a 55lb motor would work for you. I work full time, so when I plan a fishing trip I'm there no matter happens with the weather. When I can afford it I'll be installing a 112lb 36v Ulterra with I-pilot and Link. I can't wait! [/QUOTE]
