Glass over foam core boxes added to both sides of the factory bracket box.

Assuming you run your kicker off the same fuel source, that will hit issues too. But a new 4 stroke, used "somewhat" weekly, and proper fuel additives, and a sea tow membership - ALL GOOD.
Yep, kinda what I'm thinking, too - there's 100 lbs right there. (and a cause of the listing to starboard). Nice to have for keeping the hours off the main engine, but we don't really troll that much and dropping the aux into the water and strapping it up, etc is really a pain in the butt.
