2 stroke vs. 4 stroke??
I absolutely agree. Isn't the 9.9 a twin cyl though?

My experiences are with a 4 HP Suzuki 4 stroke and a 4 HP Yamaha 2 stroke.
Both
vibrated like a chainsaw. The 9.9 HP Yamaha 4 stroke is a hell of a lot
better.
- I've run one of them, too.

Bad vaibes? You have a point, but the 4 stroke Yamaha has far less head
wagging then the 2 stroke. Suzuki's motors have even less then yammy's
offering and are less money. Tohatsu is an ok engine, but heavy and
sometimes hard to start and MUST have the waterpump impeller replaced
every
year.

I would never buy a 1 cyl outboard of any type. The vibration will
drive
you nuts!

Hello, Would a 6hp 4 stroke outboard (1 cyl) have equal or better
performance when compared to a 6hp 2 stroke (2 cyl) ? I'm replacing a
6hp
Yamaha on my Livingston 7.5 tender and was thinking of using a 6hp 4
stroke
Tohatsu.
Yamaha no longer makes the 6hp 2 stroke. Weight is a major concern.
The
Yamaha 8hp. 2 stroke is still available but about $300 more than the
6hp
Tohatsu 4 stroke so I'd go for the Tohatsu if perfomance were similar.
I want to get it right the first time.
Thanks
