    Most will say 36. My ZX225 came with a 36, but since I already had a spare 24, I traded with a friend for a MK80. The only problem I see is if you fish rivers with a lot of current, 24 may not be enough.

    I have run 3 zx225's as demo's with the 80lb. Minnkota, and have never had a problem. I fish some rivers with current and the 80 has been plenty. Also fish KY Lake alot, and again never a problem. My 2 cents.

    Thanks,

    i dont think there will be any problem with the 24 unless you fish tailraces and such. most of the guys i know with 21ft boats run 24volt motors with no trouble at all
