[QUOTE="NDSportsman, post: 304435, member: 444"] Depends a lot on how much you want to spend. I've had a couple different boats now that I've put kickers on, was never concerned about make or matching the big motor. You can usually get a decent used 9.9-15hp for as little as $500. Definitely want a 4 stroke and I always used a tie rod for steering, that's personal preference. A tiller throttle can be adjusted to stay where you put it. I never used a troll master or anything like that but they would be handy, just not worth the money to me, again personal preference. If you fish alone and sit on the right side of the boat I'd mount the kicker on the left side to even the weight. Otherwise it shouldn't matter, you should be able to distribute weight to level the boat. I've also used a separate tank and tied into the main motor fuel line. Again that's a personal preference thing depending on how much room you have in the boat or if you just want peace of mind knowing exactly how much fuel you have, boat gauges are always sketchy.
