The OP's boat is light, drafts shallow, and is not hydrodynamic so it's a good candidate for a bigger thrust unit.
His boat is, safe and stable, however, it's also a great candidate to act as a wind sail or bouncy ride when there is wind and chop.
The price difference between a smaller thrust 30 to 40 thrust units and the next sizes up, 45-55 is relatively small.
One of these groups of motors will allow you cruise allot faster around the lake when moving, gives you enough thrust in windy or choppy conditions and it still able to crawl around at the slowest possible speed.
I see zero point to purchasing a motor which cannot provide you all of those advantages.
Go to the next size up (45 to 55).
