foure stroke outboards are passe' - outmoded technology surpassed by
newer, better, faster and more reliable two stroke technolocy.


In theory, two strokes should be almost twice as efficient.
In practice, they still aren't...

If you go fast all the time, 2 stroke is probably the way to go but if
you do a lot of "slow" 4 strokes still have the edge.
I notice all the commercial guys running in the Estero River (30-50')
pontoon boats) use 4 strokes.

It's worth noticing what they guys who do it for a living
are using.

But I have an ulterior motive in this thread, I am
considering buying a boat this spring (in fact I have an
offer on the table right now) and if the new 2-stroke
technology is really good, I'd like to try it out. I have
some experience with a small 4 stroke and it was OK.

OTOH one of the boats I'm strongly considering is the
traditional inboard diesel... tried & true!
