    For running the river, go for a 9.9. There's been times where it came in handy on my 12 footer. You need it in real ducky (windy) weather.

    On yeah, don't forget the anchor....

    But there is a plate of regulation of my boat and said that for 7.5 hp,I am wondering if I put 9.9 on it,will it be too strong for the boat ?

    i got a 9.9 on mine works great .get a long fuel hose for your tank so you can put your gas tank up front to keep it down.mine gets along pretty good for a small boat

    it can be little tricky to put 9.9 to 7.5 hp rated boat. transom may crack at full power and full load.make some reinforcement and you should be fine.
