For Barnegat I'd use nothing less than a 9.9 as a get home engine. The smaller ones woud be great for trolling though. And in a lake that same 4hp would be fine for getting home. It all depends on the application. Personally I run a 9.9 Honda 4 stroke and I like it fine, but I'm rebuilding an 18 HP Evinrude Fasttwin (1960) for ocean and Raritan Bay/Sandy Hook area usage.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

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.
