I think the 109 is the way to go - just saw one sell on Ebay for $750 new in
the box.

This is all good information. I will not buy another motor on ebay.
Just purchased a 82lb digital steer on ebay from the same person that
sells most of the motors on there and it had issues out of the box. The
seller stated a warranty of 90 days, but when I took it to the repair
shop the laughed and said that it did not come with a Motorguide
warranty. So I sent it back to the seller and looking to buy something
new.

The 82lb that was shipped to me from the ebay seller had less power than
my 67lb. I was told by the repair shop that it had at least one bad
board that they knew of that was causing it to not get full power. Also
the motor was a 2002 model being sold as new. Another problem was the
constant-on did not work. So I really did not get to experience how an
82lb would feel.

Hello all,

I have a Skeeter ZX225 which is a 20ft boat. I purchased this boat used
and it had an older 67lb Motorguide on it. This motor will not move the
boat in windy conditions.

I want to stay with Motorguide so I don't have to drill new holes for the
mount. From talking to a salesperson, they tell me the 82lb pro series
should be good enough to move my boat around. The question is, will I be
happy with this, Or should I go 36 volts to the 109lb version?

The 82 pound motor should work, but I've been running the 109 lb./36 volt
version and it's a beast! If that motor won't hold, you have no business
being on the water.
