I know of *many* two-stoke outboards that have several decades on individual
units.

If the 4 stroke outboards turn out anything like the 4 stroke motorcycle
engines. They won't have as long a service life.

For getting away quickly the 2 strokes are OK indeed that's probably
their only strong point, but for fuel economy, long service life,

Large 2 stroke OB's have demonstrated their ability to provide a long
reliable service life over several decades, large 4 stroke OB's have not.






Touche!!! Point taken from you both & begrudgingly accepted:-)
