As Terry said, any of your listed motors is a very good motor.

I suspect the low speed plane should not be a problem with the zuke. 2.59 gear ratio should offer plenty of low speed guts. The fact that it can spin so much propeller should offer many prop choices, and a good stern lifter can only help your concern.

Your ballistic funky tip, by the way, is a bow lifter. Changing your prop a semi cleaver style like Yamahas own, even a 4 blade - will give you better overall performance likely lower planing speed. It will also help your hole shot with a load. 17 p with the extra cup, rake, and blade design of your ballistic might be a bit much for the Yammie on the SeaCraft hull.
