There are many variables to consider when looking to buy an outboard motor. First, you must consider engine weight and output. An engine that's heavier will usually have higher output, and an engine that's lighter and smaller will have less output. Consider the boat you will be attaching the motor to when making this decision. You can also test drive different engine options on the same boat to give you a better idea which outboard motor will be right for your own boat.

Another consideration is security. Outboard motor thefts are fairly common as they sit outside of the boat and can be fairly easy to steal. Make sure you park your boat in your garage or another secured area to prevent theft. If parking your boat at a marina, it'd be a good idea to make sure they have ample security around the clock to prevent theft there as well.

Two-stroke outboard motors are lightweight and simplistic, with good throttle response. Four-strokes are cleaner and more refined but need to comply with various environmental standards. Four-stroke engines might also be overkill for many prospective buyers, as their horsepower numbers can get into the 300s. For casual buyers, a two-stroke outboard motor is probably the way to go. For other buyers who want more power and output, four-strokes are the clear winner.
