Trolling motor power

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?

I have a Skeeter 225 with a Yamaha 225 on it, and the Tour Guide 82
pound thrust. Never needed a stronger motor, but I don't fish rivers.
If I fished flowing water I would go to the 109 but if I can keep the
motor in the water it will hold the boat.
