With the twin outboards the boat  becomes much more versatile as a fishing machine, we will be able to troll at speeds less than 1 mph, it will also have a very
   impressive top end speed in excess of 40 mph, plus the added safety feature of having a backup engine. We also are a member and a supporter of the South Shore Towing company. We carry the latest in electronics ( GPS/Fish finder/Radar/Ship to Shore/Auto Pilot/Stereo) and all USCG approved safety equipment. The boat is equipped for trolling with planner boards, downriggers and dipsy divers; we can troll with up to 14 rods. With the outboard motors there is over 80 square feet of unobstructed deck space allowing plenty of casting/fishing room on the boat while drifting.
