I went 36v and 112# thrust for the added runtime but my boat is big and heavy. I'm not super electrical savvy but as I understood the 36v will give you extended run times even when using the equivalent amp hours for a 24v system. I'm using mine as autopilot in conjunction with my gas kicker motor when trolling for salmon and spot lock when I'm fishing the salt. My gut instinct is telling me that a 54", 24v 80lb trolling motor would be perfect for your boat but I can understand your trepidation after talking to Minn Kota. I know I would buy that setup in a heartbeat.</p></blockquote><p></p>
