I backtroll a ton on Newel and 40 mile. Never had an issue. I run wave whackers and dont even think twice about driving transom into the wind. I can hold tight on structure or a pod of fish in basically any fishable wind and waves. I run a 60hp yamaha tiller with electronic rpm control but I have ran a vantage in the past as well as other electric backtrolling motors. I have fished the SAWT on and off for around 15 years. A knew a bunch of guys that backtrolled with a vantage in tournies constantly. I havent fished the tournies for the past few years due to being busy with my kids sports but I am sure a few guys still have them rigged up.
