are you going out of site of land? can you picture a time when losing power would not be a good thing? I would rather power up to the local bar than be TOWED to it...Bragging rights kind of go to hell when you are towed home.... ALSO... resale value in coastal towns will be substantially higher on the twins. Roger Long wrote: This question is a real personality test. It comes down to flat out speed and bragging rights in the bar against just about everything else (if you leave out cost). The two stroke will have higher fuel consumption plus you will be burning oil at the same time which isn't cheap. You'll also be polluting like crazy. The twins have redundancy but the higher weight and the drag of an additional lower unit will cost knots. That will cost you big points in the bar. It's pretty much a no-brainer for an outboard boater. Enjoy that two stroke  Docking with twins is a tad easier too. More control. |
