Trolling Motor Question

[Fly'in V]

It's time to replace my Trolling motor it been 6 years and I have beat the crap out of it. But they don't make the motor guide 56lbs any more, plus I want the new Spring assisted Gator Mount.

So do I go with the 54lbs or the 70 lbs model.

What do you Nutcases think?

if you must go motor guide .. go with the 70 .. also i have been told by a reliable source that the only difference between the 70 and 80 lb thrust is the prop . so if you buy a 70 check around..places like motor guide or mercury ( who i believe own motor guide) or gene at the hook and if true get yourself the 80 lb prop ..bob

>The props on the Motorguides are all the same. The gas assisted mount is put out by Minn Kota and has been a great unit. It come in 70lb, 80lb, or 101lb. Give me a call at 925-625-2441 if i can help.I have most of them in stock. Gene
