I'm looking to fish the Muskie reservoirs in Ohio. Thinking about a
boat that provides maximum opportunity at minimum price. I'm looking to
outfit a 16-18' flat bottom aluminum boat with some rod holders for
trolling and a 10 HP outboard so I can use it in some of the power
restricted areas. If I want to use the outboard for trolling, what size
do you recommend? (Optimal trolling is more important to me than
getting around quickly.)

Any other equipment hints or tips will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael Courtney
