[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 428182, member: 9937"] Those answers were sort of my fear. My boat has a 35 hp limit so at the time the 30 4 stroke was perfect for me. I bought it at a fairly good price from a buddy and he also threw in a CMC jack plate for it as well, which I never installed because it is massive and rated up to 150 hp. $1700 for everything I don't think is terrible. Just hate to trade it off or sell after just buying it this past summer. I may just continue to putt putt up stream tilted up as high as possible. I am jealous seeing you fellas crushing through 3-5" of water. Jets are very uncommon up here in N IL. I know of one guy that fishes the same river as I. I speak to him quite often when we cross paths. Funny thing is he putts around the river too, never once seen him on plane in or near shallow water. As for the trolling motor, I know 24v may seem too much. I just prefer to be able to swiftly move upstream without completely draining a 12v in a shore time. Mainly though I'll drive upstream then float back and use the trolling motor for boat control. I am hoping someone else may be able to give me some input as well. I greatly appreciate you fellas that took the time to reply! [/QUOTE]
