Re: Will SS prop help with Hole Shot

We're bashing it because it was an ill informed statement. Read the whole thing, not just part of it. Let me quote-

I have a four stroke and it leaps out of the hole. The original poster claims that four strokes are hard to get out of the hole. False statement. Therefore, it is rediculous and uninformed.

Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree :)

I'm glad that your four stroke leaps out of the water. A large enough engine will always do the job. But the fact of the matter is that a 4 stroke develops power every other rotation of the crank, while a 2 stroke develops power every rotation of the crank. Additionally, 2 strokes tend to create more torque at a lower engine speed.

Many reputable sources have compared 4 & 2 stroke engines of the same horsepower and reported that the 2 stoke had more hole shot.
