Nice boat...have you seen the zodiac projet 350?

I just looked at them ... but I am not a big inflatable fan. Plus, I really
like the idea of a quiet, 4 stroke rather than an oil burning, noisy 2
stroke. I've been acoustically observing all the different outboards this
summer when I am docked at the slip from my vantage point on the bow of the
GB. The new, big 2 stroke Mercs and ETECs are certainly quieter than their
older technology predecessors, but nothing beats the 4 stroke Yamahas, Mercs
and Suzuki's in terms of being quiet. The 2 stroke Mercs and ETECs sound
..... weird. I think the Yamaha 4 strokes are the quietest.

I am curious as to the manufacturer of the little Merc 40, four stroke. It
must be a rebadged something.
