I'm at the age where motor light-weight is more important to me than dink speed. I picked up two used Johnson/Evinrude 2 cycle 1.2HP(!) motors (~$300 each, often advertised as 2HP), and love the 28 lbs lift up to the rail. They're fast enough for patient dinking on a 10" inflatable and an 8' Walker

Every dinghy is a compromise, but IMO an 8' - 6" with inflatable floor and keel and 2-3.5 hp is the best of all worlds. You will appreciate the smaller / lighter engine every time you have to put it on or take if off the boat. We have a 4hp 2-stroke, which is much lighter than a 4hp 4-stroke, and
