Get all that "Skinnywater". I hope your decision is easier now. I'll say this: The one thing you can't get but one way is "experience". If it was my money I'd listen to the guys who have already experienced this and spend your money accordingly. They've been there / done that!

I've got a 70lb on a fairly heavy 18 ft boat. I wish I had the 80lb.

The bigger the better. If it is too big for the boat just back off on the speed.
On the flats...the bigger the better.

Most of tese guys have already told you what you need to know. If you're putting it on a 21' boat, and expect to mineuver around bars and rocks, I'd get a 101#, 36 volt motor. The first time you get blown up on, or the current takes you up on an oyster bar or rock pile, you'll be looking for all the power you can get.
What was I supposed to do today?
