I have a 1981 Montauk and would like to put a kicker on it. I am just not sure of the best size. I am looking at 9.9 HP 4 strokes and 9.9 HP 2-strokes.
Is this too small or should go bigger. I dont think I want to go much smaller than 9.9 or can I?
I had a 9.9 Yamaha 4-stroke on my Montauk. I think it was a little too heavy. I agree with Tom and Joe, 6-8 hp is ideal for the montauk. The 9.9 did not push the boat any faster than a 6 or an 8 would and the weight saving would be big.
