I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 4-strokes, but I don't have
one myself. You may get more feedback at www.thehulltruth.com. (no

There's a wealth of boating experience in this group and I'd like to tap
into
it to keep from making a costly mistake.

I'm getting ready to purchase an outboard in the 50-70 hp range. I want
to get
a four stroke. It will be run in salt water. I'd like to get opinions and
experiences from anyone with OBs in this range.

Thanks for your help
