if it is only 2-1/2", I would say you are pretty safe. If you are backing up with the kicker, it will not respond as well since you might see some thrust directed right into the hull rather than below it, but that little bit is not all that bad...most of the propeller will still be below the hull of the boat.
At that price, though, I would say that if it didn't work out, you'd not lose a penny on that motor if you turned around and resold it...
