    I would go with a 80# but it is according to how and where you fish. it never hurts to have extra power if you need it. just my suggestion. I have a 65 on my triton 186 and it does fine but I will go with a 80 when this one goes out just for windy days.

    As long as you stay with a 24V motor you will be fine. With todays motors that will be 70# or more.
