I just thought I would toss this out for wreck'ed.boats consumption and
see what opinions is here. We are looking at a small pontoon to use
mainly as a fishing boat. The wife like the idea of having a small
"couch" like seat for her confort. and it will be nice and roomy with
the kids on board.

One of the local dealers has a nice little 20 footer that I think will
fit the bill rather nicely. I am going to go with one of two power
options. Either a 50hp four stroke Yamaha or a 60hp two stroke Yamaha.

I can get the 50 four stroke for $250 less the the 60 two stroke. I am
not worried about the 10hp difference or the $250 bucks. Speed is not s
issue either. Sound levels are important. (I need to look that up)
So considering these facts.

What would you go with?


etec.



And why?


its not a four stroke, its new technology, lighter, faster and more
betterer.


Thanks. but in this exercise I will be going with one of the two options
I specified.

Capt Jack R..
many thanks who have responded thus far, the four stroke is currently
winning.


well, it's up to you, but you will be making a mistake.

i forgot to mention etecs are quieter than four strokes.

Could be true :-) I do thank you for your input.

As I would also like to thank infisherman, gfretwell, richg
The boat I am currently looking at is already rigged for Yamahdog :-)
Not sure if they sell etecs.

I will look into them.
