Keep in mind that the class rules require the motor to weigh 50 lbs, or to have corrector weights. Our old Johnson 2 stroke 6hp weighs just over, and pushes the boat really fast. Heavy to take off the back, though. A 4 stroke is heavier, so you may get to the same weight with a new 4HP

Hi Michael (and Tuna group)
Thanks for the tow the other week. I'm thinking it might be time to retire
the 30yr old 2-stroke and plump for a nice modern outboard. You looked to be
using a fairly low-hp motor on yours.... 4hp, or was it less?
Any recommendations on buying outboards that would work well for a Tuna?
James
