Re: Two Strokes versus Four strokes

Forktail,<br /><br />I asked for advice and wanted some plussess and minuses. Instead I got some good advice and a lot of insults and smart alec remarks. I did learn two things that pretty much kill the whole argument. On the 18' foot aluminum boat I am looking to buy, the four stroke will cost me 25% more money for the whole rig and over 100 pounds in weight. That is with the lightest of the four strokes. I marsh fish exclusively in very shallow water. I can't afford the weight. The cost is a negative as well. It is the difference betwen getting the boat I like with all of the nice goodies I want or getting a four stroke and getting a stripped down boat. I appreciate your input. I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.

Re: Two Strokes versus Four strokes

So I'll say it again...<br /><br />If you want a 2-stroke, then buy one. I'm sure it will work fine.<br /><br />BTW, for future reference, it's hard to get "polite" advice when you post a bunch of second-hand "horror stories" and "problems" about 4-strokes. The "Honda" thing was merely icing on the cake. :rolleyes:
