If you have some strong currents to contend with you might consider going up to 7.5 HP or 10 HP. Otherwise go between 3-5 HP and you will be able to troll to your hearts delight. Since you are talking about rivers, I would go gasoline not electric.

Since ur talkin bout trollin' don't get no 10 horse , that gets to load if ur usin gas and gas is about the only way to go. I would say to get a 3 to 6 horse motor depending on what the currents are like around u and also if ur fishing make sure not to get a motor thats gonna scare the fish like one of those 10 horses!

I think you ought to get a bigger boat. Say a 16 foot john and a 25hp. I hear to many horror storys about the little guys. Besides, mabie some of us could go.

depending on what river you are on the current os probably under 9 knots so you might want to get at least a 10 horse outboard.

A 2 or 3 horse would move it fine.
