I think the diffeance is the seastar is rated for under300 hp and the proseries seastar is for over 300hp. But dont hold me to it.

what HP and speeds do you expect to run? If you have a high HP/speed application( above 150HP/55mph), go with the PRO. IF you have a low HP/low speed application the standard is fine.
I run the PRO and it is light years from the cable fight I used to have on a small boat/200+HP motor...
good luck, you'll love the feel of hydraulic...
