In August I purchased a 2008 218 CC and plan on using it on Lake Erie. I am going to retire next March 2021 and plan on spending plenty of time on the water. I bought a smaller boat because I want to trailer it from time to time to inland lakes like Cumberland, Ky Lake, Ohio River, and a few other places we like to go. I am thinking about putting a kicker motor on the 218 CC but not sure exactly which way to go. 9.9 tiller or an electric trolling motor. I am leaning towards the 9.9 tiller but I'm not sure how to mount it on the back of the boat. I'm going to search the Forum for ideas, I'm sure someone has tackled that project before. Thanks

Welcome aboard. Can't help you with the kicker mounting, but I've been considering a Suzuki 9.9 myself. I like the idea of EFI instead of carburetor. No room on a 245DC for tiller control.
