I too like the 80# Minn Kota Terrova. Put one on my 19' Tuffy and it works great. I went with the 54" shaft because the Tuffy sits lower in the water than my old deep V Alumacraft and I find even with the 54" shaft often it is still sticking so far out of the water it is a pain to avoid with my rod on a boatside presentation. I sure don't need to have the motor all the way down in anything I've been in yet, but I'm sure there will come a time I need it all. I'm not a big fan of lowering the motor any more than it has to be down as it is too easy to run it into rocks and wood in the water I usually fish.
