I have a honda 2.3 getting towards its end of its 5 yrs warranty, had a new carb 2012.

It's used for a few mins either way, on / off mooring.

5hp might be better for the very few against wind & tide returns, but the 2.3 copes.

I'm happy to source a 2 stroke if available, don't care about the purchase cost.

Reliability is king.

Any suggestion ?

Can't help with choice of outboard but if the only reason your letting the old one go is because it's near the end of its warranty I'd be interested.

(I've only ever used 'disposable' 2hp yamahas etc before, bought cheap and run to destruction)

Illegal to import a 2stroke to the uk.

How anyone would know if you were over there and came back with an outboard on your bracket that was brand new is a different question.

Aha...if Scotland gets independence, and isn't in the EU - what a great business opportunity !
