Location: Sandusky, OH | My buddy has a Stratos 21 MSX with a 15 horse yamaha and an engine-mount Minn Kota electric. Since adding the electric last winter, I'd say that 90% of his trolling has been with that, unless the waves kick up and he needs extra control. However, I don't think he could troll all day at 3mph, he's usually around 1-1.5 (Erie walleye trolling). The only thing he uses his kicker for is high wind/waves for walleye or musky trolling, and he uses his big motor for musky trolling over 3.5 or so.
When I get set up, I'm going to have an engine mount for walleye trolling, a 150 horse 4 stroke or DI for running and musky trolling, and a Terrova with auto pilot for steering. Sweet! |
