Well, I guess I can agree to disagree with most of you.
4 strokes are heavier which gives you a nasty power to weight ratio. 50lbs or 40 or whatever on a 15hp motor is a huge difference on a small boat. On a large boat as a kicker or whatever, who cares.
Burn up or have a bad impeller and over heat a four stroker. Likewise, do the same with a two stroke and see which one survives.
4 strokers are slow out of the hole and again hurt power to weight ratio's.
4 strokers don't mix gas, are quieter, and have better gas mileage no doubt.
4 strokers to 2 strokers in reliability issues, I'll take the 2 stroke.
