I own a 05' 208 Adventure and occasionally fish 20-25 NM from the beach. No Sea Tow or other commercial service nearby, and I'm thinking of adding an auxilliary outboard. I've got a Yamaha 200 four stroke for power which adds another 100 lbs to the transom over other types of engines.
I'm wondering how the additional weight of a kicker might effect safety/performance, and how how fast will a 8 or 9 hp aux. will push the boat. Also, I just added a set of trim tabs , and I'm wondering if an auxilliary will clear them.
Thanks in advance for any assistance
