thinking about buying new Troller

[karrick]

I am looking at a MK powerdrive 55# 54in shaft 12V for $430. I am planning on bow mounting it on my 16' Starcraft with a 60hpJohnny V-aluminum. Does this sound like a decent fit??? <br /> <br />Thanks for any input.<br />Karrick

I have that motor on a bigger boat, so you should be in good shape. Good Luck

Sounds good to me too.<br /><br />If you can swing the $, think about th coPilot remote control. A friend of mine got on last year and it is so convenient. Comes in handy when fighting a fish.

It's always nice to hear a testimonial before purchasing something. Thanks KM2<br /><br />Roscoe, I'm lucky to be buying this one. I'm trying to sell my old 12'john boat in order to pay for the new troller. At a price of $650 for the Copilot I think I will steer with my toes for awhile

karrick,<br /><br />The copilot is only about a $150 add-on to the tm. I have the same setup on my 3200 lb bowrider. You should have plenty of power with your rig. I'll add that the copilot is the best $150 that I ever spent! It's fantastically convenient and a great help when solo in the boat fighting fish. <br /><br />BTW, $430 sounds like a great price for this motor.

Its the price I found at walmart.com which seems to be the cheapest I can get it.

I'd check that price out further. Something doesn't smell right. Websites have been known to make mistakes. I paid the full $149 retail price at a dealer last July for the copilot add-on to my MK Powerdrive 55 AP.
