I am thinking of upgrading the old boat and am looking at about a 200HP 4-stroke. I have trolled with a 75 2-stroke and a 115 4-stroke with no problem. My question is, has anyone any experience trolling for muskie with a 200 HP 4-stroke motor. I generally troll in the 2.5 to 3.5 mph range. I know, many will say get a kicker. My problem is I do alot of what I call run and gun trolling on LOW. It amounts to many shorter trolling runs with some longer runs inbetween with the larger motor. If I had to put down a small kicker for every short trolling run, lets just say it would get old in a hurry. Again, just asking for anyone with experience trolling for muskies with larger 4-stroke motors. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks for any input.
