15 HP Kicker on 18’ boat?

Hey All,

 

Shopping for a motor with the intention of using it as a kicker on my 18’ Starcraft during warm weather, and throwing it on a 14-16 row boat in the fall for duck hunting/winter fishing.

 

Anyone here running a 15 hp kicker on a 17-19’ boat? Are you able to get below 1 mph?

 

Not against a 9.9, just trying to maximize utility.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Used to be that many 15’s shared same block as a 9.9 - just were setup and rated at different specs.  So you can definitely use a 15 on an 18 footer.  To get under 1 mph you’ll need a trolling bag or buckets.  I use a bag on my Lund to get to .9 mph on my 17 foot Lund with an 8 hp.

Once you decide which HP to go with shoot me a message and I'll see what I can do for you on that engine.
