Out of curiosity, ever owned a DI two stroke?

Nope. I've had one EFI four stroke and several carbed two strokes.
The last couple of times I upgraded my fishing setup, either OMC was
in it's death throws, or the Ficht and Optimax versions of Russian
roulette were still being played out, denting wallets along the way.
I wouldn't pass on an newer ETech, Opti or TLDI nowadays. The
teething pains seem to be gone.

The outboard most on my mind these days is Nissan's new 30hp EFI four
stroke with both electric and pull start. I keep imaginging one on a
tiller steered, 16' aluminum deep v, with a bow trolling motor and
only one battery servicing both motors, as the perfect protected water/
river fishing rig.
