With the advent of modern 4-stroke engines, you don't see kickers used as much anymore. Nowadays you can throttle down the main engine and it still performs very efficiently. You'd probably have about 3-5 hp at low rpm -- just like the kicker! And with less clutter on the transom.

So I'm curious about your rationale for the kicker, on a smaller boat like the Monrauk 150?
