It depends on what your boat is rated for. Most 14' alu boats with deep V design are rated for 10 to 15hp motors but you can easily get by with motors as small as 4hp. You can troll with a 10 to 15hp motor with no problem as well. Buy what you can afford, I used 4 to 7.5hp motors for years on my 14' alu boat. If you fish on small lakes you really don't need a big motor.
