What is the current choice for outboards mounted in the lazerette on Dolphins? Short shaft, mid lenth or longshaft? 2 stroke or 4 stroke? I'm trying to learn the advantages and disadvantages of each before I purchase one for Grand Finale.

Beautiful boats and fair winds!

Hi Mike
I know you have checked these out already but for the benefit of new readers there are a couple of related outboard motor posts in this Technical Forum, and the light weight approach (4lbs) is addressed in the Technical section on the website here:
