A buddy is in need of a new trolling motor and needs some advice. He is running a 2000 Ranger 19.5 foot boat with a 200hp Yamaha and is concerned with slowing the boat down with added battery weight (He should have bought a Triton).

Choices: 1st choice is to go with an 80lb thrust 24 volt trolling motor (which we believe to be the strongest 24 volt system available) or 2nd choice, a 101lb thrust 36 volt trolling motor.

Which way would you go?
