Just a rough guesstimate but this is probably how you can look at the different motor options.
6 HP: trolling speed only
9.9 HP: Might be able to get on plane with 1 person(probably not 2).
15 HP: Should be able to get on plane easily with 1 person and maybe even 2.
If you are just going to fish smaller lakes and just want to puts around any of them will do the job. If you want to fish bigger lakes and be able to get off the water quick if needed then spend the extra bucks and get a 15 HP.

Must be a private lake with self imposed limits?
There are lots of lakes with 12 kph speed restriction, electric only, no motor etc restrictions but I don't know of any with HP restrictions here in AB (and none are listed in the governing act I posted either which I believe covers all public waters).
