Wooden Power Boat Plans

What type of engine for a person-a wooden boat?
I just got a wooden kayak size of new boats, and needs a motor. Someone said that 50 horsepower (hp) but appears five more horsepower than I need. I plan to use in fairly shallow ponds and lakes, fresh water. You need to feed 200 pounds. Please include your boating experience so I know whether to trust your answer! Thank you. Here are some pictures of the boat if they help at all. I think it's homemade and definitely been used in water with an engine before.

5 hp would get you going well, but probably built for about 10 hp – 10 with you buzz around anything up to 25 knots! 50 hp would be insane – and even dangerous. This will be a scream – make sure the transom is solid – not soft or bits flex, and use a short axis 9.9 or similar. The standard prop might be too thin, as with a helmet light and small top speed will be the whole point! Mine was called "Phoom" – It was nine feet long, with a population six hp Evinrude that I could get about 15 knots, more on my own (non-flat two-up), used for the slide as a stray dog in the turns – but it was the most fun a twelve year old could get. An 8 horsepower rating that we used was probably 18 knots – but this was more to do with propeller power. At that time the authorities had better things to do than bother the children enjoying themselves in a healthy and safe. My children also have had this experience from the first possible moment, but I fear the thought police will not allow my grandchildren to have that freedom.
