[QUOTE="Djknyork, post: 388530, member: 7054"] Assuming you're going to run the Susquehannain and you wanna run fast and shallow in the summer or early duck or goose seasons here's my advice - if you have the $$ - get a rockproof and be done with it lol. If had the cash I would've. Lol To answer your question if it was mine I'd go forward console to see rocks better & a 90/65 or a 115/80 if you got a pile of buddies ur hauling. You could could still run that size with a 90/65 tiller but it'll squat n you may need pods installed to help get on plane quicker (n pods are a lot cheaper than getting a larger outboard). Also if you plan on running shallow at speed get 2 of the biggest bilges you can find n prey you won't ever need em, as you know, there are very very few gravel bars on that river it's all bedrock n ledges.
