I'm looking for some feedback from owners of 16' classic hulls who have kicker motors as to the general consensus as to an ideal size for security, as well as some trolling, on freshwater lakes typically traveled in these boats. Thanks for the info and Merry Christmas to all my Whaler Central friends out there. Zap If you can't play hurt....stay home.
