For sure big deck.....Most guys up here run big tillers to keep center clear. Either for decoys or fish. Stabilizers fins are built under the boat at back. The 115/150 is largest before you go into hydraulics to help. Some guys are running up to 200's on the back with hydraulic assist. The 115 trimmed up and jacked up runs like a 9.9. You have to find the sweet spot. Have pitched prop to pop up quick. Smooth ride tops out about 37 mph on a nice morning with one of my lighter partners!!!
Lot of hoop netters up here on the Mississippi or IL Rivers. Guys catching Asian carp are running 4" square long line nets. One team is using a 30ft plate with a 300 horse! They pulled about a million pounds Asian carp in last year. 10 cents a pound at market makes for a long day!
