What type of fishing are you doing. I have the 70 lb thrust 24 volt rip tide with I-pilot on a 20 ft champion fish hunter and love it. I can pull jigs all day in 5 to 10 and not run out of battery power. The 80 lb is the Terrova model which comes with the foot pedal. My next motor will be the 80 lb ultera model that deploys and stores at the push of a button.
