Close to purchasing a F70 for a re-engine on a 16' Glas Ply. These are considered heavy hulls with a 25 gallon fuel tank and I will likely have 2-3 people when using. Would this combo be expected to troll ok?

I expect it would be great for trolling and you could do a lot of trolling on 25 gallons! Install a fuel/water separator to help keep the water and debris out of your motor! My brother-in-law had a 40HP Honda on a small Whaler and you almost couldn't hear that motor running at trolling speeds!

I was originally considering a F60 or the BF60. After some availability and pricing research though the F70 keeps coming out ahead as long it works as needed.
