[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 432419, member: 4251"] I had a 04 PT175 with a 60 2s. It was butt heavy at rest with a grp 27 TM & 24 cranking batteries in the stern. The gas tank is back there as well. The 40 will be adequate but that's about it. With a full tank of gas, the 40 will be sluggish. The 55# TM will do good at controlling and pulling the boat except on windy days, the boat is on the light side (mine was) so boat control will be an issue in the wind using any TM. My PT175 had storage compartments up front and assume your potential model does as well, so you could put the TM battery up front and rewire it accordingly. I thought about this mod but never did it. My PT had an OEM charger in the stern, it worked well, no complaints. The livewell would pump water in/out and recirculate, I don't see why the Tx would be different but could. I don't know what you mean by "pondhopper", I used my PT175 on TVA lakes in E TN trolling for crapppie. The boat will be tippy by design with the modified V hull, when you move from one side to the other, the boat will roll, waves and wind will make it worse with the elevated decks. [/QUOTE]
