I think there is a place for 2 strokes and a place for 4 strokes. If you are
really interested in running an appreciable portion of WOT all the time you
need a 2 stroke.
If you are content to cruise at 3000-3500 RPM a 4 stroke is probably for you.

Yes, and if there were some decent mechanics around here that would actually
get your boat back to you before the end of NEXT season a new 4 stroke would be
nice. If you didnt need 4 million dollars worth of diagnostic equipment to fix
one, a new four stroke would be nice.

I'll give up my old 2 stroke when they pry my cold, dead fingers off the
throttle. Hmmm, that sounds familiar.
