I am surprised and pleased to hear you have had enough power with quite small motors. I should have mentioned I am partial to 4 strokes, (even though my main is a 2 stroke which is kind of noisy) and the boat already had a kicker bracket when I bought it. Thanks for the imput.

I have a 26x with a 50hp main motor. I want an auxiliary motor for safety and possibly trolling but I also want it to be light enough to transfer to an inflatable easily. What hp of motor could I expect to work well for me in the ocean off the pacific northwest?
