Hi, looking at 27-29' express cruiser type boats that will be for cruising and some fishing. need to troll at 1-2 mph and i'm wondering what's required for that in this size boat. This boat will have I/O engine(s), either one big block or maybe twin small blocks - Mercruiser or VP. Here's my questions:
1. If twin engines, can one be used to troll and achieve that slow speed without putting undue strain on the engine (maybe doesn't "like" to run that low of rpm?)?
2. If a seperate trolling motor is needed, about what is the cost for this(VERY approx.)? I guess it would have to be remote opertation.
3. I've heard of "trolling bags" but not sure how inconvenient that is?
Thanks
