'89 Procraft kicker motor?

[Rodburner]

Hey guys and gals, this is my first post. Seems to be a lot of good info on here so I thought I would ask a simple question. Can I put a kicker motor on my 1989 Procraft boat? And how big of a motor do you think I should get? It's an 18' boat and pretty heavy. The 150 horse Mariner is just too big to troll with. Any ideas will help. Thanks!!

Can't see why you couldn't. A 9.9 should do well for you. I have a bracket like this http://www.iboats.com/Stationary_Ou...13359518--**********.895091902--view_id.37972 but there are also these http://www.iboats.com/Stainless_Ste...13359518--**********.895091902--view_id.38063

Thanks guys. I didn't know if the transom of the boat was made for something like that. It sits pretty low in the water too, so that's another obstacle. I would want to be able to raise the motor when I wasn't using it so I would have to go with the adjustable mount. Thanks for the info!
