[QUOTE="SilverFox, post: 4436346, member: 9102"] I had a Lowe 17HP model aluminum with a 90 Optimax and a Triton 17 with a 50 or 60? Don't remember right now. I was 6'4 around 270 or 280 then and didn't have a problem. I had the Lowe after I screwed my back up and my balance was crap. Still didn't have a problem. I will say the 75lb trolling motor would throw you out the boat if you had it turned up fast and didn't have it pointed straight when you pushed the go button. I fished the French Broad and heavy current from time to time and it was great there. On the lake you would never need that much power. I'd at least get a 55 for the lake... when they start busting on the point and you're in the back of the cove you want to get there in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
