Tom my boat is a Lund SSV 18.5ft long with a 50hp Honda 4 stroke with power trim and flat floor inserts my kicker motor is a 2 stroke Yamaha 8hp I connect both motors with a steering bar when trolling ,I troll with the 8hp and steer with the 50hp.It is a very stable boat.
Coming back from Hay Bay on the weekend there were 3 foot swells I had it going full throttler trimmed up and over the waves she rides like a cadillac.I like my big tinny.
