I have been running a Minn Kota Riptide 74 24 volt for the last five seasons, and have been very happy with it.

Minn Kota Riptide all the way, I've had both and the Minn Kota is superior. Can't speak to those that have had foot controls or autopilot types, I've always been a big believer in the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle and go hand controlled. To me less to go wrong is a good thing, especially when you mix in salt water.

Stay away from 12V, go 24V minimum and if you have the space and the extra weight isn't a big deal; I love my 36V Riptide 101.
