Look at it this way...
The pounds the motor says it has means it will pull or push X amount of weight so far so fast...
But lets say you have a 45 LB motor and another person has a 60 LB motor on the same size boat and weight, battery ...Witch motor will last longer with the same battery and same usage???
The 60 will, why cause when you run both to move the boat at the same speed the 45 will be turned up higher to move the boat at the same speed..+ if or when the wind blows the bigger motor will let you move and controls the boat better then the smaller one...
What I would say is get the biggest you can for the bucks you have..The bigger the better..
