I run it on my high rigger, with a flasher fly on the deeper probe rigger. Frequently have a black and raspberry NK (also white back, old school) as a free slider above.
before fleas made it impossible, all I ever used on my rigger rods for kings all season long was 12 lb. Many 30+ pounders boated on that line over the years.
Yeah sorry Hank, that was unclear, I was specifically referring to the Mercs with the size. Regarding Nissan, Tohatsu flat out states that the only difference between the Tohatsu and Nissan lines is the stickers that go on the cowling. Somw people are willing to pay more for the Nissan Name and perceived additional resale value, so they accommodate that, but the motors are identical. I didn't care about that, so I saved a few bucks and got the Tohatsu.
Tohatsu is the manufacturer of their own brand, Nissan and Mercury 4 strokes smaller than 20 hp (or was it 50, I forget). The only difference between them is the stickers they put on the outside.
I upload my photos to my Photobucket account and then insert the link to the pics in my posts. It's free and just flat out works on any forum, without fail.

I have the Amish Outfitters Redwood boards and they are awesome, pull like a mule, the plastic ones are supposed to pull even better. IMO they pull better right out of the box than even the modified otters could ever hope to.

The new (to me) Ride,
Well, the old FishStyx bought the farm a couple years ago and this is her replacement for the time being. bough it last year and spent some time getting it put together. Looking forward to getting it in the water and see how she fishes.
1989 Starcraft Islander 221V Hardtop
4.3L OMC Cobra
added a new 8HP Tohatsu Kicker
Don't know yet whether this will be a short term solution or a long term one yet, so I'll wait a while before going through the renaming ceremony
Looking forward to being back in the water this year, and being mobile again, plan on doing some Erie perch and Walleye trips this year as well as my regular Lake O action.

ps, unwrapped her last night
Big thing to look at Richard is the dimensions of the seat base. The Thompson back to back seat bases are 20" tall, the typical aftermarket replacement back to back seats only have 10" high bases.
