What is the maximum horsepower engine I can legally use if I am under 16 in Queensland, Australia?

I am 14 years old. I am thinking about buying a tinny or inflatable boat. I know I have to be 16 to get a boat license but I was told I can drive XX horsepower without a licence. What is the maximum horsepower engine I can legally use if I am under 16, without a boat licence, in Queensland, Australia?

It would seem 6 hp is the cut off point, but I am unclear as to the situation there – the link above is to the Queensland Govt. Website and you may have to ring them up to find out in person.

Good Luck.
