T-Boo, whenever possible go to Minn Kota. At 56 years old...I have had #1 Pfluger, #2 Shakespeare, (3 of each between 1979 and 1980), several Motor Guides...small props and the "basket" that was supposed to keep all of the weeds off of the 8 inch aluminum prop...(all it did was put more weeds around the prop)...better Motor Guides in the 80's...OMG 24 pounds of thrust...then came the Mercury and Evinrude/Johnson trolling motors...they were beasts!!! Right before Rita I went to Minn Kota...I have an 80# on my surface drive rig and a 50# on my Edge/25 hp. No problems with either on and the 80# is 8 years old! Just my two cents...
