For what its worth....

The boat I purchased, a 23, had on it before I took ownership a 25 hp kicker. Was told it was used for backup but also to troll with.
I would assume that with a boat in this size range you would want at a minimum of 20 hp...otherwise your boat would most likely be going sideways instead of forward and like you said you would probably burn the thing up after using it. I personally cant see a 15 hp being enough hp on a 23.....but I guess it would be better than nothing...
