Topic: Trolling Motor?

First time poster here and pretty new with boats, I have a 95 Pantera 2 that I'm looking at putting a new trolling motor on. It currently has a MG X5 80lb on it. I was looking at putting a MG Tour Pro on it but I cant decide on the 109 or 82, i understand the 109 would have more power but do I really need it. If i get the 109 i will need another battery and update my charger, right now the 80 does fine but I wouldn't mind being able to go alittle faster because I mainly fish on lakes where I cant run my outboard. Right now im running about 2.2 mph at full speed, with the 109 really but that much faster. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I had the MG 109 on my previous boat. It finally died (after 16y). Switched to Garmin. My advice would be, find someone who works at Garmin to get you the discount, buy the Force and run it on 24volt. Would be faster without having to go 36v. The discount takes some of the sting out of the cost.

I have the Tour Pro on my P2. 24 volt is more power than I ever use, but cannot tell you about speed. It’s the best TM I have ever used.
