As for gas cans, look into the DinghyMate style tank. It's U-shaped and clamps to the inside of the transom. I've got one in our 9'6" Bombard Typhoon and it's great for keeping the floor space clear. I've got a 6hp Johnson 2-stroke on it and it has enough power to get 1 person up on plane, but enough to get 4 adults and two small dogs to shore against a current and some chop. If you can pickup a 2nd-hand 2-stroke it's worth considering. They can be stowed anywhere, at nearly any angle. 4-strokes require being stored at a very limited set of positions, otherwise the engine oil will foul the cylinder (and leak out everywhere). That and 2-strokes are usually weight a bit less.
