I run a propane ice fishing auger - the only time cold is an issue is when it is -20F or if the 1 lb. cylinder is less than half full. I wouldn't be too concerned about cold weather affecting the outboard with a 20 lb. tank hooked up to it. It should start way easier than any gas motor if they are made similar to augers.
My biggest concern would be where to find room to store 2 - 20lb. tanks and then the what if...... you are talking about a liquid form of a compressed gas that is highly combustible. Way more like a bomb in the back of your boat than any other fuel tank.
If you can figure out a way to safely store the tanks I would be excited about the prospect of a propane kicker. I sure like my propane auger so I am guessing the kicker would be pretty awesome too.
