Looking into buying a new Kicker for my Seasport Skipper 19'

Mr. Woods boat is an inboard. Would that add weight and require the 15 hp?

No. Inboard doesn't make difference.

My 22 seasport trolls great with the 9.9 merc efi. 9.9 command thrust 122lbs vs 15 pro at 99 lbs. 20” leg on both. $500 price difference.

Suzuki 9.9-20 same weight.

Nobody ever regretted having too much horsepower.

It seems odd that the 15HP is lighter than the 9.9. Could it have something to do with command thrust vs pro model?

Looks like we’ll need to bring Stizzla into the HP argument

heres mine. the autopilot got disconnected because i didnt use nylocks but the arrangement is obvious. https://sportfishingbc.com/attachments/whenautopilotsdont-jpg.109344/

It seems like a cool idea but I’m not sure it would go with the decor on my stern

Yeah its overkill for that boat.

If you can get the “boatshow special” on Suzuki 9.9, that’s usually when you get the best discounts or 3 year extended warranty ( 6 yrs total). I would also look into what @Rayvon mentioned about the hp upgrade to 20. Could potentially void the warranty but if it doesn’t, might be a great option.
I’d call Breakers in Alberni and ask them about the 2025 deals and the upgrade option. Good luck!

I got that info from the Vector Suzuki dealer in Sidney,so I don't think it will void their warranty.Costs about $800 though.
