Thank you for your responses. I have never had a 52" shaft so I am not quite sure on the feel or difference I might have in shallow conditions. I do understand the extra length for windy conditions. Will it get in the way up front with the extra length. There have been many a time when I do get into the shallows while musky fishing especially in Canada with the rocks/boulders. May I ask, have each of you ever owned a Tuffy Esox LTD. for the comparison. Just want to make the right decision here. More than likely will be my last trolling motor purchase. Thanks
I named that boat and worked for the company in sales and marketing for 43 years. Had a few Marauders and a few Esox LTD's which was a rebranded Marauder with a 60" livewell. My first Tuffy was a 154. A couple years later it was renamed Roustabout. Think about it this way, that shaft will be 10" longer. Take a ruler out to your boat and see what it looks like. Should be fine, but if it seems long for your personal preference, get the shorter motor.! |
