Subject: RE: kicker motor? max the main motor HP?

I have been debating the same exact question and decided that I ONLY troll when the waves are so bad I can not stand or it is too cold and the rods keep icing up. I would say that I cast 90%-95% of my time on the water, and it was hard for me to justify going with a 9.9 kicker and spending the extra $4200. I am also going with either a 225 or 250 Verado, and decided that when I need to troll, I will use the big motor. It is a 4-stroke, but extra gas and hours on the motor will not be good, but it will be far less than $4000 on a kicker!! If I trolled all the time or even 25% of the time, it would not be a question, i would buy a kicker.
