I have a 13' that came with a 40, it was much more seaworthy when I replaced it with a 25hp 2 stroke. The 25hp 2 stroke would be as much as I would do on the 11', maybe a 30 but no more than that. The key to the smaller boats is having a light motor. Try the tohatsu, the name may be hard to pronounce, but they're really light.
