I use an 80 at my house, it's good for a sack and I always boil corn, potatoes, etc separate.

And what is the reason for you doing this???

Yeah, I never boil pots and crawfish together. Well, I don't actually "boil" crawfish at all anymore. I steam em and soak em, but I never boiled em together anyway.

The problem is the basket. Unless you find a maker different than the two I have, you'll have a 60 gallon basket in the 80 pot. I HATE that.

Not sure, but they are different. One was from Sam's. We looked at a specialty store and they wanted more for one basket than we paid for both pots combined. I need to look at Academy. Thanks.

potatoes take way longer than crawfish

This is very true. I have one of thos "Boiling Nets" or whatever they are called. I put my potatoes and onions to boil first then just add the crawfish a few minutes later. This way when the crawfish are finished boiling, everything comes out at once. I just find it easier if i have only one pot to worry about. As the old saying goes "There is more than one way to skin a cat". The end result is what counts.
