I agree the HP is to high. You are better staying around 50% of the maximum HP rating for the boat, especially with a young operator. In a worst case scenario the motor suddenly turns 90 degrees and the thrust causes the boat rotate and capsize.

The price is way to high as well. Look for a four stroke, they run clean and quiet and start easy. No oil to mix.
