[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 484487, member: 13975"] The size outboard you will be looking for won't have an integrated fuel tank. Your best bet would be a 3 or 6 gallon portable fuel tank although you could get a custom tank integrated into your boat or the boat may have one (though unlikely). Thanks to the EPA modern plastic portable tanks aren't too great (think how much regular gas jugs suck now) but for your situation they are great since you can disconnect them from the motor easily and then you can move the outboard and the fuel tank independently of each other. I'll have to let others chime in on the timelines for when the 2 strokes started becoming unavailable. I know some are still made but they are usually international versions only offered overseas in areas with less environmental regulations. [/QUOTE]
