2 bag motors each in a 100:1 versa planetary would have plenty of power from the testing that we've done. The combined motors would in fact have double the power, but having both would allow you to winch faster if you wanted at the sacrifice of power. With that much power you'll have the luxury of optimizing speed and power.
