Contemplating getting a new kicker.
Nothing wrong with the Yammy 9.9, 3 seasons in it runs better now then when it was new.
Having to go 18 miles on my kicker recently, I found the top speed I can get to is 7.3 knots in favorable conditions (no wind)
But thinking about a bigger kicker, maybe a Honda 15 or 20 Power Thrust, or the Yamaha 25 High Thrust.
Not sure how much faster I'll be able to go, but hopefully would be able to run even quieter?
Boat is a Kingfisher 2825, so not that heavy, maybe 7,000 lbs. loaded.
Yamaha 25HT = 201 lbs
Honda 15 or 20 = 110 lbs.
Was kinda thinking Honda 20 because of the HP/Weight.
Anyone have any experience moving up from an 8 or 9.9 to a 15/20/25?
