Suitable kicker size for a 26.5' glass boat

Hi all,
For a glass boat of 6000#'s, 26'5" long, do you think a 9.9 Yammi high thrust would be good? The next size up is a 25HT, and that seems big. I wish Yammi made a 15HT, that would probably be perfect, but I do have Yammi twins and therefore want to stick with them.
Thx,
 
I agree 9.9 high thrust is fine. I have a similar weight boat with twins, It seems like I barely rev the 9.9 up to get to troll speed. The only thing I can add is because of twins, the kicker is mounted quite far out from center, so a prop guard for the kicker is a must for me. Before my prop guard was installed, I wrapped my downrigger braid into the kicker, stopped the kicker dead!
