    A Martin would be a very good choice for that boat. It also idles down well for trolling. Light weight on the transom is what you want. A Martin 40 is 4.5HP and weighs only 37 lbs, only 5 lbs more than a modern 2.3HP and much more power. It also has a great transom pivot system to clean any weeds from the lower unit.
