[QUOTE="Flatbotm, post: 209995, member: 6226"] I have another question for the experts around here. What are your thoughts of a additional kicker motor on a 15' jon? The reason I ask is some lakes here have a 10 hp limit. Some are just no wake but others have this limit. If I set my boat up with the console it will be difficult quickly change out my 25 hp rude for a smaller motor. If I set the boat up to have a smaller kicker then I could take the kicker off and put it on as needed. I mocked it up on the back of the boat and I would definitely need to fab up a bracket to get the motor far enough away from the 25 rude. I think it would be used for trolling as well so I don't have to idle my bigger motor for long periods. The little 4.5 merc weighs about 50 lbs and I wouldn't need additional fuel cause I all 2 stroke. Any help is appreciated. Here is a pic of the little guy.
