Well all, I found myself a 12ft tinner with a 76 Johnson 15hp...
Hopefully she will troll slow enough, if not, I'll start with the IKEA bag idea.

I'll let ya'll know at the end of September how it goes.

15hp should be good for trolling no problem...even then itll be easy to slow down with bags or a trolling plate
