| I have thought the same thing about the 15hp. 90% of my fishing days, my Honda 9.9 is fantastic to troll with. It's the 20mph winds that are a pain. That being said, those days are probably few. I believe the block is the same on both motors so size and weight aren't any different. I guess if came between $300, I'd probably get the bigger one, but I wouldn't hesitate on another 9.9 either.
Just a note on trolling the Opti. The first trip out this year I lost the water pump in the kicker so I couldn't use it. I trolled the Opti 135 for the first time and was able to get down to 2.2mph on the gps. The water was still very cold, so I'd have preferred to be under 2mph. I was however impressed that a motor that size would troll down that well. | |
