    Cutting swim platform resealing the core

    Hangman I have a single on a bracket, is this the same setup you have? I plan on using an ez steer to connect to main engine and was told if I mounted kicker on Transom they would not be close enough for this. Hopefully some others may chime in with their Opinions as I would like to get best...

    Cutting swim platform resealing the core

    I am doing the same this winter, I will be putting a T 9.9 on my Gulfstream. My shop recommended I go to this fiberglass guy to have the swim platform reinforced then set the kicker right on the platform. Estimated cost $700. Not sure if this would be an option for you but would also appreciate...

    Kicker question

    Hello Anyone have any thoughts or experience with a kicker on a gulfstream with yamaha 250. I was all set to put on a yami 9.9 high thrust but the dealer said another guy with a 23 whaler wished he had a 15hp as he had to wind the motor out whenever there was any type of weather. He is a merc...

    Repowering my 26 Islander

    Is the 9.9 kicker for sale. Do you have a price and what features does it have. How did the kicker push your boat I am going to be adding a kicker to my Gulfstream this winter and thought I may need to go with a 15hp.

    Towing a Gulfstream with a Tacoma

    Those numbers don't seem to add up, unless perhaps the boat is completely empty in fuel. I just towed a gulfstream 7 hours with a Ford 250 and I wouldn't want anything less than that, as these boats are heavy. As earlier poster said you may be OK a short distance but I would not think you...
