[QUOTE="airbornemike, post: 358749, member: 1652"] I run a light rig with a 30/20 Johnson 2strk, my hull is 16×51 but it's weight sensitive as it weighs 200lb. I'd like to hang a 50/35 on it but I don't know if the weight to power gain will be worth it. Like you I fly fish so I don't carry a ton of extras but it adds up as I use it more, trolling motor, battery, oars.......well when I get off my little smallmouth river and get on heavier flows guess what? That's right your speed drops, especially if you're caring extra bodies. You might want to look at Tohatsu 50/35, it's a 200lb motor and a 2 stroke. Not many people are running them though so it's hard to find info on them. [/QUOTE]
