Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The 90 HP Mercury, to answer the direct question, will troll down very nicely, and is already on the boat if I understand correctly. The Merc will be smooth, quiet, and dependable.
Hntr,
A couple of the PWT and FLW Pros used small tiller over the last few years to be more maneuverable and easier on fuel. Some of the events are not on water that command a larger rig, and the decision to run a small rig didn't hurt a bit and may have helped. I remember Danny Plautz running a 75 Merc 4 stroke (very similar to the 90 Merc), I believe, on a 17' Crestliner, in a PWT event this year. He cashed a check, too, if I remember correctly. Ron Seelhoff has used his smaller rig many times as well.
Comes down to brand loyalty and preference, really.
