Best Troll In The Game, April 9, 2009
By evilOOSIK from Winter Haven, FL

"100% GREAT MOTOR... I run the 80 lb on a 18 foot Panga Marine skiff. The ease of use is amazing. The gas assist deploy and stow function is unlike any other on the market (TWO FINGERS). With the variable speed it will slow troll the lakes and rips through the heavy flow in the salt. I love this product and know you will too..."
