i have a 30lb thrust minn kota endura right now. it pushes my 1448 alumacraft (aka The Hypnotoad) pretty good. but i was wondering would it be worth upgrading to a 40lb thrust TM?
 
I'd go with a 50lb or 55lb thrust TM, especially if it is my primary propulsion. 50lb and 55lb is only about $25-$40 more than the 45lb Endura model.
 
I agree you wont see much improvement with the 40 lb thrust
Wait until you can make a worth while upgrade to a 55 or bigger
 
It would get you 1/3 more thrust. You should be able to feel the difference taking off.
I wouldn't expect your top speed to change much though.
 
thanks for the replies everyone! definately going for a 55lb thrust as my next TM. can't wait for the ice to melt so i can get the Hypnotoad back on the water.
 
My 14'V I had a 50 on the rear and 55 on the front :LOL2: (Yes I left a wake) Well worth the wait for the 50 or 55.
