Forward or reverse with a gas motor?

[idahoron]

The 5 hp would be too fast for my style of trolling. I have no doubt that the boat it's self could handle the larger motor but It was just be too fast.
The Coleman "Parsun" does have a tank on it but it also hooks to a big tank with a hose connector. Merc is a good motor, I think the Nissan is also a good one. Parsun motors have a good track record but no where as long. So far mine is a good motor. I would like to see them go to a long shaft in a 3 hp. That would be a very nice motor for a pontoon. Ron
