Does anyone sell a kit for the rear seat? Also what size kicker would I need? The boat will be used in Puget sound 1966 Nauset now

I think I will try to build it from the plans in the "Downloads" section of this site, although the template for the support brackets is not available. Does anyone know where to find that? (or have the dimensions?)

Between the large 115hp main, a kicker, and a stern seat you might find your boat is somewhat stern heavy. It may porpoise more than you'd like. Dennis 1985 Outrage 18 with Suzuki DF140A

One was a 9.9 Mercury 2 stroke, 81 lbs., and the present kicker is a Tohatsu 6 hp. 4 stroke that weighs 59 lbs. The 6 hp. Does everything that the 9.9 would do and it is a lighter motor, it pushes the hull 6.1 mph as opposed to 6.4 mph with a 9.9 hp. I have found out from experience that too much transom weight on a 17 ft. Whaler hull will make your boat handle like a tank not to mention taking an occasional wave over the transom. I went from a total of 386 lbs. of motor weight to 319 lbs. with a repower and the boat handles like a sports car and I have never taken a wave over the transom since , so try not to get too much weight on the back of your boat. Enjoy your boat these are great boats.
