I had a 12 for inflatable. With a 15 hp on it, and with just me in the boat it would plane no problem. With two adults in the boat it would plow water for a long time before it got on plane.
Inflatables take more ponies than you would think to make them perform.
A six hp will get you there but if you want to cross a lake like Wabamun. ( width ,not length) for instance it could take you an hour vs 10 minutes with 10 or 15 hp that will get you up on plane.
Inflatables are excellent very stable boats which is nice in the rough stuff but they also sit quite low in the water which means you can get pretty wet in the rough stuff too.
