striker 07-14-2002, 08:46 PM Looking at buying a Alumacraft tp185 with 100 hp Yamaha 4 stroke can i troll with this motor and how come most people don"t ron tiller models with all the extra room it gives you. Has anyone run a tiller in big waves what is it like? Thanks in advance The yamaha motor is a tiller LundDriver 07-31-2002, 08:52 AM I had a Lund 1700 ProAngler with a 50 HP Merc tiller. Loved all the room inside. No tripping over everything. Running rough water was no problem. Great boat. Almost sorry I sold it. Went to a 1600 ProSport with walkthrough wind shield. Lost a lot of space but I don't miss the wind, rain, snow or cold. Bad weather? Put up the bimini! Good luck on your choice.

Yes you are in the elements more than most boats, but I love backtrolling.I have a good rain suit. The only problem I have is ,sometimes when driving slow, I have visability issues. The moter trimmed down helps but you still have to be carfull. Great boat you'll love it. | |
