I'll agree with that. Mine doesn't really shine till over 3000.

2 strokes still seem to be fairly useless between fast idle and around
2000
RPM. That doesn't bother folks with planing hulls since that is not a
good
speed for the hull either.



My opinion. Buy a 4 stroke. My Yamaha T-8 is fantastic as a high thrust
kicker. But on the big HP engines, I still will go with a 4 Stroke. The
old Oil in fuel mixture OB's ran for ever, and had good lubrication. The
new DFI's? Where is the lubrication for the bearings coming from? Where is
the cooling for the pistons coming from? A lot less lubrication and less
cooling. More failures on the Ficht and Opti's. 4 Strokes have been made
for a lot of years. All the big dirt bikes are now 4 strokes and they seem
to last longer than my Kawi Greenstreak.
