....That's a 4 stroke motor right? How does it handle trolling?
Thanks for the kind comments. It is a 4 stroke twin with carb. Merc now has a 25 HP EFI 3 cylinder that I'd sure like to have - and may some day get. The Big Foot is ideal for this boat. I troll slowest at about 2 MPH which is just fine for trout. I like 1 MPH for kokanee and can get down there by using a small drogue. But I may get a different prop in the future if it is likely a prop could make that much difference. I currently am running a 12X29, 2.42:1 - or so it says. This combination planes in a snap and cruises below full throttle at 20 nicely. Top speed is about 25 MPH. I can troll all day on mere fumes. |
