[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 418506, member: 13975"] I have a 45 lb on my 1648 Alumacraft. It's nice but it's almost too much power for my boat and fishing style. It is a 5 speed model and I really only use speed 1 or 2 when I am using it fishing....3 - 5 are overkill unless I was trolling jigs or crankbaits. I'd like it to go down a little slower with more of a variable speed setting. That said, it will be handy if my motor ever fails on me as it goes 4-5 mph on high speed lol. I think ideally I would like a much higher thrust motor but one with a true variable speed option. Would give great thrust for current but very low speed setting for totally calm conditions like I see a lot at night or very early morning. [/QUOTE]
