[cool][#0000ff]You will do fine by spending less and getting the 30. You would only want the larger motor if you wanted to troll very fast or tow a water skier. Plenty of tooners get by very well with the 30. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]How long a motor lasts on a battery is subject to all of the factors you already know. The thrust of the motor, how high of speed you run it...for how long, and the total amp hours on the battery. Basic physics tells you that you will get a longer ride on the same battery with a 30, rather than a 36. If the 30 will be fast enough for what you want, then save a few bucks and go for it.[/#0000ff]
