I'm by far no expert and without knowing your hull design it is hard to say for sure but I've owned a small 12 footer and the biggest motor I had on it was a 7.5 hp. Does your boat have one of those tags on it stating the largest motor recommended for that boat? Most newer boats will have one of those Hull ID plates. As far as brand names, that totally depends on what you like. There are many good brand named motors to choose from. I've had several different brands over the years and they all ran pretty good.
