Is Orygun requiring all new outboards to be 4-stroke? The weight of a small 4-stroke (25HP-ish) outboard would ruin any thoughts you'd have of fun in an inflateable. By that I mean you'll need a weightlifetr wife to help move it, and then consider that you'll be mounting it near or on the water. Think arm length vs. load.

If you are allowed a 2-stroke, the newer 2 strokes have a HP/weight ratio FAR superior and even have a direct injection mix. Meaning you put the oil in a tank on the engine, and it mixes with the fuel automatically. Very clean burning too.

Check out West Marine as well, their store brand is made by the big name guys (same warranty) but sold cheaper. Stay away from bargain basement brands.
