The newer Mercruisers have a 'pull to drain' block draining feature so that you can easily drain the block. If its a new one, see that it has a little blue lever on the top of the block.

Your choice is easy - You can't go wrong either way! The I/O will give you a little more power out of the hole and the 4 stroke will give you quieter performance and a little stronger top end. At this stage, I would not consider a 2 stroke or an Evinrude E-Tech which is a 2 stroke oil injection which has not been proven enough for me!
