trolling with verados?

[flywasher]

I have a chance to buy a 2007 boston whaler "305 conquest" with twin 275 verados. My question is can anyone tell me if i can troll with these engines for salmon and trout down to 1.6-2.6mph? I've heard differing opinions about outboards not being able to troll that slow.

Thx for responses in advance.

I have a friend who fishes the Missouri river with a 19.5 Lund Tyee and a 225 Verado. I called him and he said he can get down to 1.8 without bags.

He said he can troll 5 hrs pull rods and hammer down and not a isssue.

If you want his number give me a shout.

Hey lee,

There is a Boston whaler center console that fishes out of Racine that has twin Verados I believe. Another charter captain has fished with him in the past. I will try to get some contact info for you and maybe you can talk with him directly.
