Bob... the stats indicate yes... but I would trend to a higher horsepower.
Look at the weight ratios.

Keep in mind the logical approach to this... you can always throttle down...
but it's hard to throttle up when you need the extra omph and don't have it
at hand.

Seriously Bob... the weight differences between a 6 hp and a 9.9hp shouldn't
be the deciding factor. They are minimal and well within your handling
capacities... unless of course those last pics really are an accurate
representation of your current shape. :-)
