[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 72051, member: 55"] Took it out today. It will barely idle down to crappie and perch trolling speed, well at least for pulling jigs and little bitty cranks - will have to get something even smaller for that, or buy a prop with less pitch (not real crazy about the noise, or I would run my smaller antiques). Bigger cranks won't be a problem, as we pull them a little faster. WOT is a little bit high for striper trolling speed, which is what I wanted, so I can run at midrange in calm weather, and have a little reserve for a headwind. I found that when I leave it tilted to the left when running down the lake, it produces a rooster tail higher than the cowl of my 40 horse, as the water ramps of the tilted up cav. plate. When I turn it straight, I can tilt it up higher, so just the very tip of the skeg is in the water. So, I will be making a block that will hold it straight, instead of turned. [/QUOTE]
