But don't be afraid to go with the bigger motor. A lot will depend on the drag, your weight and sometimes you need that longer shaft.
The 30 was fine on my 11 footer I use to have because the pontoons were 12" diameter. My 10'6" are 15" diameter meaning a bigger foot print. I need more thrust on it as Tube Dude will admit on his float tube. Drag is the issue. Size of prop makes a difference as well.
I still have my group 29 deep cycle I use on occasion, but it is a monster.[
