friend of mine is getting a new 1785 yarcraft wrangler dc, but he's having a heck of a time deciding on motors. He fishes a wide variety of lakes, probably will fish more big water after he gets new boat.(lake michigan,erie,saginaw bay etc.)He was also told that some guys use main motor for all trolling, therfore not needing a kicker. If anybody knows the weight of each I'm sorta curious. thanks Tim
