Trolling plates will work, I have one and have used it until I got a kicker motor. The big thing you need to look at is fuel cost... My trolling plate on the 115 Hp motor hit my speed just fine, but I burned two tanks of fuel a day with that motor, verses my 9.9 hp Yamaha that runs multiple trips on 3 gallons... For me a smaller kicker would have been better, but I found a used one on KSL that I could afford, so I went that direction.. Anyway in the long run I think the kickers will be more affordable than the plates and they hold their resale value pretty well... Good luck on the decision... J
