Seems the Honda 4 stroke outboards are the thing to have, though a bit price!
You're kidding, right?

Well, based on your weight criteria, it may be real difficult to cram a walkaround into that kind of weight/towing class. I like walkarounds and have never personally found any merit to 'hot cabins' (that is why they have hatches and I have had lots of crew nap out in there before) or a lack of deck space, but I may have been a little biased as my Dusky had a bunch of cockpit to work with.
I'm open to center consoles too, although most don't offer much shade or a place to be dry. A place for a head is a very nice feature, as Matt mentioned. If it were up to me, I'd never have one on a boat that size, but my wife might object...
