[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 301166, member: 4251"] a 55lb'r would increase your speed maybe to 3mph (swag). I have a 55lb MK Terrova on my PT175 with a 60 2smoke on the back, boat has full carpet, raised platforms with fishing seats, 3 seats at the console area, etc., not a heavy boat but not a featherweight either. The Terrova will pull mine at 2.7/gps when on high but with it being 12v it won't maintain it for very long. If you plan on trolling at 4mph for extended periods, you should go 24v, if the desired 4mph is just to get from one spot to another, you'll probably still need to go 24v 80lb or more to get that speed. I can troll at .5 up to 1.5 mph/gps for hours with my set up and use the TM on high to scoot across a wide cove if I want. [/QUOTE]
