Question for Ranger Guy's

[Bucktailer]

Would a 8 HP kicker be enough for Musky Trolling on a 620VS?

[Hoey]

I have the same boat with a T8 or 9 and at full throttle it will go 8 or 9 mph if I recall correctly.

[RUNnGUN]

Definitely

IMO no, especially if you want to run higher speeds like say 5 plus... I have a prokicker 9.9 on my 620 and to run 5 plus you have to be pretty wound up. If you like the 4 or less mph range you might be ok. If I strictly trolled muskies with a kicker my next would be a 15hp... 620 is a big hull to push around especially if you have some wind.

[Jcup]

Couldn't you just use the big motor for the 5+mph speeds?

[RUNnGUN]

An 8 will push you that fast no problem

[JackPineGuy]

plus who needs 5 plus. i troll year long and rarly go 5mph

[toddb]

Maybe you should try it JP, you might like your results...

[JackPineGuy]

idk i take that back i speed troll alot in the summer maybe 5mph isint as fast i i thought.

I can't speak from experience, as my Ranger isn't a 620. However most of the muskie guys I know with that boat say if they had to do it over, they would rig that boat with a 15 Kicker. I have an 1860 with a 175 Verado that works great for trolling. 3.1MPH is as slow as I can get it to troll, but 3-5MPH is usually where I end up playing for musky anyways, so it works well.

What prop you guys running to get it up to 8 or 9. My T8 doesn't come close to that.

[Pistol Pete]

I've got a 618T and can only get about 5.5 mph out of my T8
