[QUOTE="raider, post: 311901, member: 353"] i don't guide, i fish, and take people fishing... when these guides have clients out on toons, i doubt they have time to fish unless anchored or pulling rigs on a nice day... i already had a 112 with remote to run and wouldn't be able to run a kicker at the same time and still fish with a rod in my hand... a kicker on a toon would be useful for pulling cranks or straight line trolling STRAIGHT into the wind or backtrolling against it... you basically have either 2 or 3 bows with a flat 1/2 sheet of plywood right above it catching the wind... they do not cut the wind, they react to it one direction or the other... for motors i had a 20' with a 115 and a tri with a 150... probably had a few hundred hours fishing on toons and a few thousand hours running deep v fishing boats the past 40 years... if a kicker would have fixed my problems, i'd still have a toon - loved it... i was just giving honest feedback to the op - nothing more... how is your toon configured and how does drift in 3 footers??? everyone "knows a guy"...
