Can I use my Shimano Baitrunner 6500 on a boat rod? Reason I ask is I just spent all this money on the reel and a 9' rod but my buddy and I just decided to buy an 18' Starcraft boat. So the 9' rod is obviously useless to me but I was wondering about the reel, will it be too heavy?

Very excited about the boat, can't wait to get it in the water and go to all the good spots in the harbor.
