Im sure you will have a high fuel consumption on that engine, im wondering what it is. I bet 8GPH on the 100HP engine. 2-strokes drink gas but are super light. It's so light you might even run into CG problems.
As far as the Jabiru goes, I have seen and heard the 80Hp verson and it's a smooth running engine just alittle expensive.
