    Which is better Yamaha 150 2 stroke vs 4 stroke

    Looking to repower my boat. Trying to decide between 2 / 4 stroke. I know all the arguements of quieter, heavier vs lighter, more / less torque, etc. Any thoughts about which will last better in saltwater (South Carolina)? I have heard stories about the 4 stroke carb design creating a...
