Been through all of them a couple times and then some! If you are going to pound get the 65#/or 74# Maxxum.These motors are carefree workhorses and very,very rarely go to the shop.Everyone and I mean everyone that I know with a PD has had many a problem and lost serious water time and are switching. The Genisis looks good too but out of my range.In 3 seasons with my Maxxum 74# I broke some props on stumps/rocks but throw on the spare and back fishing 5 min. later and that was it!Between walleyes and esox my boat is in the water from late Feb. to Dec.with probably 200 days a season fishing some very rough schmidt!(conditions)That is the main reason I like cables and just my opinion. There are many others that will also bring up valid points but mine are very time tested.Good luck!
