I had a Honda 7.5. It broke. I bought a Nissan 6 hp. I can cruise five knots plus on a flat sea. It is slower when motoring into a swell and head wind. I like the light weight, the ease of storing it in the lazarette. If you buy one, do buy the flushing plug, and then make up a small hose length that has a reducer to match the flushing plug and fits on a dock hose on the other end.
I thought of my boat as being adequately powered until I saw the little bitty prop dangling from the outboard well in front of that elegantly full keel at haul out. You will like your Nissan 6, but see how silly you will look:
