[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 235795, member: 3833"] Finally got to use it in that capacity. Trolls down to about 2.5mph GPS. Any slower, and I can't keep it running. Caught a few speckled trout out of it last trip. Only one was caught trolling, but I have some learning to do. I covered about 25 miles and burned very little gas. That makes me want to rethink having a permanent tank that size. The boat will run in some pretty shallow water, but not 4". I hit a sand flat going about 20, and I think I've messed up the prop hub. After that, the motor would speed up every now and then and it felt like I wasn't getting traction. I'd like to think I didn't cause it all myself. The prop had a couple of good dings and the skeg was bent a little when I got it. I guess I have an excuse to buy a stainless one now. [/QUOTE]
