Well, if gas is the way you want to go, then I'd opt for a 9.9 for you. I have a Honda 4 stroke 9.9 and it moves me throught the water just fine, I can idle to less than 1 mph yet go considerable faster if I need to. Understand I only fish salt, so not sure what your needs or speeds are, but I know several other ppl here also have 9.9's on their boats.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
