With the motor spacing on the TC, when I put one in forward and one in reverse, I can spin on the vertical axis. If you troll that way, you'll make the fish dizzy!

Well, Les actually just said that about the 22. I guess you are right about the TC, duh!

Great picture Dot/Marty!
Brian - you would have water impact on your kicker when you come off plane. Thinking out loud...that spot will yield the least sea impact if it were trimmed up. May take some vertical position experimentation.
