I couldnt agree more with this post most of the bush lakes around here are too small or have too much limited access for my big fishing boat so i use my 14 foot tinnie with a 15 horse evinrude and i run that thing up shallow in less than 8 ft of water (trolling) or controlled drifting and I feel it out performs my trolling motor on the bigger boat for trolling and controlled drifting 9 times out of 10, just my 2 cents
cheers
