[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 157163, member: 55"] The 6 should make you move better than a trolling motor. I ran a 4 horse on a similar boat for years, and with 2 people, a powerdrive trolling motor on the bow (not the lightest) with just one deep cycle battery, we still would see 4 - 5 mph. Get your batteries placed right, and the 6 [i]might[/i] just get you on plane when you're riding solo. If it does, I don't see 8 - 9 mph as too hard to achieve. [/QUOTE]
