    Question New Terrova question....


    Well, the wife has come through again. She gave me the money to buy myself that Terrova (US2 and I-Pilot) I have been drooling over for the last year adn a half. (And no, Billbob, I dont think I should bring her to spring camp. Go find your own Fishin Momma),

    I have a question, though......... What size tm do I need? I have a PolarKraft 175FF, aluminum boat. About 1400 lbs dry. Currently running a 45 lb motorguide (12volt) which usually pushes me around just fine. Wind over 15 mph becomes a real problem though. Will a 55 lb Terrova be enough for this boat? I know the consensus is gonna be "bigger is better," but I really dont want to buy more than I actually need. The difference tween the 55 and 80 would be about $350-$400 counting new wire and extra dc battery.

    So....... What say you? And why do you say that?

    Minners is cheaper than crankbaits, we need to try the cranks at the lake you like to fish close to your house.
