Location: Alsip, IL | Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate the input. I'm going to try and get out for a day with a guide in a 985 and see how I like it before I make any quick decisions. First expensive boat purchase for me and now that I can finally afford pulling the trigger on a nice rig I wana make sure I get exactly what I want. Will an 8hp kicker be enough on the 17 ft class of boats? Lake Mingo is one of my favorite lakes and they have a 9.5HP max(weird I know). I can have a larger outboard it just has to be trimmed up. I don't know how strict they'd get on that extra .4 of a horse though. |
