Now I am looking at getting an inflatable and they do not row as well as a
rigid dinghy so I need an outboard engine.
Carrying gasoline on my sailboat does not appeal to me very much let alone
mixing oil.

If you're not going far in the dink, then a 1 gallon tank of premix[0]
doesn't take much space in the overboard-draining gas{propane} locker.

On the other hand a two strokes engine does not weight as much
as a 4 strokes. On a sailboat handling an outboard engine means that you
have to lift it up and secure it on the stern rail when sailing. Then when
you want to go ashore you have to get the outboard down and mounted on your
inflatable.

Consider a temporary bracket[1] of some description that can fit onto
the toerail at the quarter, and mount the O/B in two stages. Dink
painter to midshipscleat, dink quarter-handle to stern-cleat and it's a
much lower lift/drop required when in the tender.

/ME?
I'd like enough space to carry a Mirror dingy on the foredeck...
