[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3581450, member: 24531"] The upgrade was absolutely worth it, the 24v seems to have as much or more power on the 75% power setting as the 12v did on 100%. On 100%, the 24v moves the boat up to 1.1mph faster which was almost a 50% gain in speed!!! In fairness to the 12v, I had tuned it and could hear it had more power out of the water, but I never got to the lake to try it before I swapped in the 24v. I also tuned the 24v, so it wasn't a full apples to apples comparison, but I bet we are still talking a minimum of 30-40% more power based on speed alone between the two. If you have a 12v on anything larger than a jon boat, a 24v is worth it. I hit 3.5mph with the extra batt and just me on board...It still hit over 3mph with outboard down and 3 people on board. That is flying compared to the 2.3mph best w/ 2 people using the 12v. [/QUOTE]
