Location: Stones throw away...finally!! | I have a 620 with an 8hp Yamaha 4 stroke and it seems to work just fine. You won't be breaking any speed records, but it will consistently push the boat at 6-7 mph at full throttle, and I have never been in a situation where I didn't feel that it was adequate. I have my controls at the console and personally wouldnt have it any other way. I am sure some people would prefer the tiller option, but not me...I like sitting at the console. Plus I have the casting deck installed so I would have to sit cross legged. I haven't every been on a motor restricted lake, but for years, most of my fishing, in my old stomping grounds, was done on no wake lakes, so it made more sense to use the kicker instead of running the 225 at idle rpm's. Muuch better on fuel as well. Can't comment on the cost as I purchased my boat used and it was already on it. |
