[QUOTE="Cubman, post: 212699, member: 417"] I have a 70lb MinnKota on a 1648 and it does a great job. Some times I think it is overkill and cuss the fact that I have to load two batteries in the boat, and some days I am greatful when the wind is blowing so bad speed 4 holds the boat and speed 5 lets you creep into the wind. If you don't want to deal with two batteries, a 55 will suit you well. If you don't mind two batteries, I would get an 80lb. They are much better suited to running wide open for long periods of time. The 70lb has plastic brush holders that will melt if you run the motor hard for very long. [/QUOTE]
