[QUOTE="G Lap, post: 209214, member: 6268"] I'm sure of lot of you are also not looking forward to the day that you have to buy a four stroke outboard for your lightweight boats. I personally don't have any experience using a four stroke outboard. This lack of experience with a four stroke boat motor is probably to blame for my biased opinion. It just seems that they add a lot of weight for a similarly powered motor, and any extra weight is a big deal when talking about lightweight boats. I have read they do have more moving parts, but are a more dependable design. I guess only time will tell . . . as two strokes have had a long time to prove themselves. I have always ran two stroke motors, and they just seem to keep on going. I am curious about the longterm dependability of a four stroke outboard. Are there currently any new 2 stroke outboards that are still sold in the U.S. in the 20hp to 30 hp range? Are other countries following this same trend to get rid of two stroke outboards? Does anyone have any input about four stroke motors who is currently running one? [/QUOTE]
