I sold my 2 stroke kicker a couple years ago and bought a 9.9 merc 4 stroke. It is amazing how little fuel the thing uses, is quiet, and has a fantastic trolling range. The main reason I went with the 9.9 is for a backup on lake Powell. If the big motor breaks down when you are 30 miles away from camp, the 9.9 will get you back, albeit a lot slower. At full tilt it will push my Crestliner 1650 at 7-9 mph depending on conditions.. Good luck with your choice.
