Thanks guys, I have owned most of the lower priced motors. I have not owned a neu, or run one, but I do have quite a few aveox motors. I also like the hacker motors, the best of which appear to be the c50 series. They preform like lehner motors, and sell for a lot less used.

I am not biased, and have bought quite a few cheaper motors hoping that they would be good. Like the sv27 motor, tons of power, but it realy needs the water cooling it gets in the boat! However it seems to be you get what you pay for. I would like to try mega motors to see how they perform.

On a side note, does anyone know how similar the aveox motors are to neu motors? I have about 7 of them in various sizes and winds, and they seem to be very wel made, and put out plenty of power for their size. I know that steve neu worked for aveox, was he the designer? I am guessing his motors are comparable in design to the aveox, but are they better built? Just wondering...
