Hi Ken,

Very recently, MINN KOTA just came out with a new 101# thrust unit
affectionately dubbed "The Monster"; I'm not sure of the part number, but
you can find the MK website on your browser, and they've got a paged
dedicated to it there.  She's a 36 VDC unit.

I don't know for sure, but I'm going to guess that, if Nick's motors are not
new, they are probably less than 100# thrust; because I've been in touch
with MK pretty steadily lately (waiting for the Monster), and I know they
just came out with a unit of that power recently.

QUESTION: just out of curiosity, what model number and volt capacity is your
70# thruster?

Very best regards,
