Yeah, I wouldn't go much larger than a 10 hp.

I’ve got a Mercury 15 hp 4 stroke on my 14 footer. Had a 9.9 Mariner. 9.9 was too slow for me.

Tohatsu, Mercury, Suzuki. A new 9.8 Tohatsu will cost about $2300, a 9.9 about $2500+. Call out to Lake Purdy and talk to them. They use Tohatsu on their rental boats and sell new ones. Sometimes have used they have taken off a boat. Nissan is now Tohatsu. Good site for price and feature comparison on makes and models. https://onlineoutboards.com/collections/outboard-motors

That's not the best picture for me to use to make this proclamation but unless there's much more bracing that I can see, you need to do some extra work on that transom before you even consider putting an outboard on it. I wouldn't put much of a motor on it. It's better to go slow, than to sink.....

4 stroke all the way. My 150 on my big boat I have to check sometimes to see if it’s idling. You can carry on a conversation at 60 mph.

I was between boats years ago and I fished 2 seasons in a boat about that size with a 9.9 Evinrude on it. It didn't go very fast, and I had to be selective about where I went, but I caught a bunch of fish outa that rig. The transom eventually rotted out of it completely, but I retired it to the pond and still use it often. You would be doing yourself a huge favor by putting a seat on the front. I bought a small pedestal that is about 12" tall and fastened it to the front bench seat, and reinforced with a piece of thick aluminum and it has held together for over 40 years. Getting your seat up higher will make it much easier to operate the foot control TM. Of course, get off that seat when running your new outboard. Good luck with it.

The one in my picture is rated for a 6 hp, but my dad ran an 18 Evinrude on it for several decades. I'm probably lucky to be alive.
I like your setup, Joe. It shows imagination!

Get you a used 15-20 in a 2 stroke johnson/evinrude, tohatsu or nissan. Watch the transom and if it flexes, then reinforce it.
I am always amazed by the folks screaming a transom won't hold up to a stump. Ok, point taken and agreed upon. So - you hit a stump at a blazing 8.5 mph. Now what? Oh yeah, stand up so you don't drown.
