Default Cessna 182 CMP engine

Hey guys I just ordered a Cessna 182 140 size and I'm thinking about what kind of motor I want to put in her. I'm not sure if I want to put a 2 stroke 4 stroke or gas. The thing I don't want to do is end up hand starting the thing. I eventually want to put it on floats, so I'm wondering if a 2 stroke would be better for that. I'm on a bit of a budget but I probably won't fly it until June or July so that will give me some time to think about it and save for the right thing. The principle things I care about are fuel economy, reliability and power.
