I have an 1985 Muskie Rampage love the boat 90 HP Merc and bow mount trolling motor. In the past have done casting for Muskies and rigging and jigging for Perch. just started getting into trolling cranks and was wondering about mounting a kicker i have an old 2 hp Johnson that i used to run on the canoe. This my first fiberglass boat wish i would have got one years ago. any help to an old aluminium tiller boat old guy would be appreciated on weather it is even a good idea to mount the tiller?

Depends on what you want to do. It will take at least an 8 horse to run the rig fast enough to speed troll for muskies.

Had to move to Iowa to find work so Clear Lake is my home lake now. lots of Muskie's so that's good. Big motor trolls good for them, but i was looking for a way to troll for the weird yellow bass that are here and need to go slower. The electric works fine until the wind gets going. thought i would try the other motor, sounds like it should be no problems hanging it off the back.

thank you for the reply

If a 25+ year old Tuffy is this good why would anybody buy a new boat of a different brand?

I bet that 2HP will work for slow trolling around .5-1.5 mph.

That Rampage was/is a nice boat. I really liked mine.
