[QUOTE="fishinwrench, post: 343266, member: 13579"] As an outboard tech working on these things for a living..... I can't find a single thing about the 4S designs that I like. They are quieter and they are a little easier on fuel, but seriously....The difference in fuel over a days fishing just doesn't add up to much. It's better to go ahead and burn that fuel so what is left in the tank is fresher anyway, so having plenty of leftover fuel isn't always a good thing. You can either use fuel to push the boat or you can kill weeds with it....your choice. The cost to overhaul a 4S is out of many families reach, and I'm betting that we won't see any 35+ year old 4S outboards still doing their thing flawlessly in the future. As hard as I try I just really-really- REALLY cannot like them. Not one bit. And I want to, I really do. [/QUOTE]
