2 or 4 Cycle Boat Motors

[Quicky]

The new 2 strokes are claimed to produce the same or less pollutants as 4 strokes. The 2 strokes are lighter than their equal hp counterpart as well. The newer 2 strokes also don't require mixing since they are direct injection. There is an auxiliary oil tank that needs to be installed if you go with the 2 stroke. There is more low end torque on the 4 strokes, but better power to weight ratios with 2 strokes. I also understand that starting a 2 stroke on a cold fall or early spring morning is easier with the 2 strokes as well, but have not verified that. Plus you have the benefit of the wonderful smell of a 2 stroke on a cold morning... Nothing better in my opinion.
