I have a MinnKota 36 and it is more than enough for me. I'm not a heavy guy but I do take alot of stuff out with me.
I get long batt life too, which equals more time on the water[

36lbs and under are at the low end of amp draw for a 12v motor. A 50lb motor is about as high as you can go before you move up to 24v motors. Which means a 50lb'er(very high amp draw) won't last but half as long as a 30 or 36.
If time on the water is a factor for you in selecting a motor go with a 30-36lb'er.
