[QUOTE="navybluejacket, post: 235467, member: 2320"] I grew up around boats and I feel that I had an honest grasp on the engines that were on the market 20-30 years ago. However, times have changed and so have boat motors. With so many different choices and vastly different designs today, I feel like I don't know where to start. I fully understand that most of these topics are nothing more than ford/chevy opinions, but I am hoping to find which outboards offer the best performance in hole-shot and reliability for a jon-boat. Right now I'm thinking about Suzuki or Evinrude E-tec motors. Is there something else out there that is better? Is there a reason to shy away from one of these motors? Honestly, I want a 2-stroke (e-tec) because of the size, weight and torque. Perhaps the newer 4-strokers are just as small, light and torquey? [/QUOTE]
