    How many hours do you intend to use the motor yearly?

    A 2 stroke is vastly less finicky over storage, irregular use, maintenance costs etc etc.

    The 2 stroke isn't that much noisier than a 4 stroke of that size.

    Taking it on and off regularly, you will appreciate the lighter 2 stroke.

    An 'old' 2 stroke may still only have a hundred hours on it, so decades worth of use still left.
