After a month in Italy and a couple of weeks of it on islands and Cinque
Terre. I noticed that 99% of all the small outboards were 4 strokes. A lot
of Mercury's and even a Mariner. A few Yamaha and susuki's. One big boat
had twin E-tecs. I guess that $5 / gallon gas gives an incentive to
conserve.

Interesting. I spent a month in Ireland and England a couple of years
ago and almost all the small boats had Honda four strokes on them.

By the way, I love those little fishing boats made in England. Little
16/18 footers with a small cuddy on them - nifty boats.

TTFN,
