[QUOTE="Bobkat, post: 367266, member: 8010"] From my limited experience I Rhine you are correct, Fester. Even with a couple of neat pyrodex anchors with long ropes and heavy lead chains, much wind makes them drag along no matter what. Kurtr, down here I see most of the home based commercial guides seem to be switching to pontoons and Tritons. Partly because trolling here has been pretty unproductive the last couple of years, and most are still fishing with casting and lindy stuff. I have a 90 mercury on my 20 footer. Fishing model and amazed how slow the darned thing can go for slow trolling and how quiet that engine is. Even with my hearing aids turned up Ioften have to look back to confirm it’s running by the pee hole water. Quietist and smoothest engine I’ve ever owned and seems to troll on windless days slower than my u,terra and Lund at home. Only tops put at about 30 mph and was easily passed today by another boat, looked about 50 -60 feet long and had FIVE 450 mercy’s hung on the back! Looked like an ICBM shooting through the water horizontally! Don’t want to pay his gas bill! Told me he burned only 100 octane at $9.50 a gallon! Ouch! [/QUOTE]
