Hands down the weapon of choice here in the Northwest is the yamaha 8hp High thrust Kicker. Electric tilt and trim in 25" shaft length.
I Know several in here are using that motor. It has been replaced 2 years ago by the Yamaha 9.9 High Thrust 4 stroke. IMHO not a better kicker motor out there. In the NW here, guys run them 8 to 12 hours a day for months at a time trolling for salmon with big Boats in the 4000 to 6000 lb range.
I have used that motor extensively the last 8 years and love it. Its the same engine i will be putting on the back of the 20' Seafari.
Good Luck
Robert
