Jackmuffun,

I happened to be at my local West Marine this morning and glanced at those Garelick outboard brackets. I'm afraid I have to withdraw my recommendation.

They are very nicely made brackets, but I believe they are much too large for a boat our size. After studying them, and some other options there, my feeling is a compact, fixed bracket would be more appropriate for the amount of area you have available on your transom, and the size of kicker engine you plan to use.

Hopefully either Boston Whaler or someone else here can make a suggestion in that respect. Good luck and please let us know what solution you choose.
