Your not going to hurt that Yamaha one bit by trolling with it if you can obtain your desired speed. Putting hours on my new 4 stroke would not be a concern to me. Look at the tiller guys that run 4 strokes..not that many have kickers..they just troll with the big horse..but it’s your money do with it as you choose. God luck!!

I had a 9.9 kicker and got rid of it after 2 seasons.
80# Terrova up front and my 140 Suzuki has troll mode for speed control, throw in a drift sock and I can manage pretty much any trolling scenario I can think of.

Sounds good. Does 1 trolling sock do the job or one of each side to even it out?

One dealer 2 hours away quoted me $22,399 out the door. My nearest dealer matched it and second nearest would not. This includes all fees but before taxes obviously. Took a while to find a good quote to work with. Most quotes were in the 25000 to 26000 range at first.
I had everything else I needed so only wanted boat, motor, trailer with everything water ready.
Aluma compPosts: 4March 9, 2017 at 12:30 pm #1680034Thank you for the response and info. Appreciate it! Did you look into a cover or the alumatrac rod holders at all?

31$ each for rod holders. I think about 500$ for cover. I’m going to have a cover made. Didn’t want factory one. I will also be getting a couple of the alumatrac things.
March 9, 2017 at 2:47 pm #1680082I would definitely go with a custom cover. Especially if you store the boat outside.

Mine won’t ever sit outside but will definitely be moving around on the trailer often.
