[QUOTE="thill, post: 507546, member: 4972"] On my 16' tin boats, I've recently run a 55# thrust and a 70# thrust. To be honest, there wasn't a lot of difference. The 70 probably had a little higher top speed, but it wasn't particularly noticeable, and I didn't check the GPS. I'm currently running 55# Terrovas on both my 16' Princecraft SC and my, 16' Spectrum dual console. They run great, even in heavy currents. I use (2) 100AH TimeUSB lithium batteries, and they last forever. Very happy with the setup THAT BEING SAID... If I were buying a new motor, I would probably pick a 24V motor, if the costs were close to the same, especially if you are in a very windy area with running tides or river currents and so on. Resale value will be better, and you can keep it if you ever upgrade to a bigger boat. [/QUOTE]
