Given there are no longer any 2 stroke engines produced, a used 2 stroke will be your only option.

As for moving to a 4 stroke, you can simulate the new weight by placing bags of sand etc in the splashwell.

From experience, there will not be any problems going to a 4 stroke 150. Some owners with the heavier motors have moved the battery (~40 lbs) to the console.
