My boss has the 2.4 SW with a 5h merc two smoke and by himself depending on loading can plane or not so you should be good with the 6, tho I would have gone 8 as in most brands they are the same...

I like the water on the outside of the boat, there is literally 5 inches of freeboard at the transom with the 8hp.

Too heavy, 9.9 is the same engine as a 15 which may as well be twice the weight.

used a 2 for a while on a ten footer, two blokes and a wet net made for slow going against a current but still better than rowing or swimming.
a 6 would plane me and two small kids just at full...
