Depends where you are boating. Speaking from experience, after my main inboard quit at the Sandheads where the currents coming down the river runs about 8/9 knots and more my 9.9 4 stroke could not get me back up the river. I had to wait until the tides were favorable (which was 11pm. at night. Wish I had a 15 Hp. that night.

It's just the right size kicker when it get rough. I've been out fishing in 3 chop not swell's but chop and it push me just fine with out working the motor hard. If I had a high thrust I think you can probally go smaller
