I'm in the same boat as you are bdrieck... I like to troll, but only have the one motor as of now. While I am only in a 16.25' Lund with a 50hp Merc, it still tends to run a bit faster than I would like (1.8 to 2.2mph Depending on wind and waves) Been thinking about adding a trolling plate to my outboard. Been eyeing one that includes a bit of a boost (Hydrofoil) to the lifting power of the motor to help get me on plane a bit faster.
