2-Stroke engines have less parts and thus are easier to maintain and probabaly less
expensive to maintain as well.

Do both engines have DC generators and if yes, do they generate adequate power ?

Weight is a factor and you have to look at the the total wight the boat can carry minus the
Engine and then copare the load and see if you can bear the same number of people with gear.
