Jim,
You will be disappointed with the honda 2hp. I have one and it's a pain to transport/deal with. It leaks almost every time I need to lay it down. And it's air-cooled--much louder than you would expect for a 4-stroker.
My recommendation is go with a Nissan/Tohatsu 3.5hp 2-stroke. About 22lbs, and very reliable. I have one too--and I much prefer it over the Honda. It's much easier to store (no oil to spill) and much more reliable (surprisingly).
They do sip gas, both of them.
