[QUOTE="ccm, post: 347249, member: 13447"] I was told this by my local outboard dealer. He's been an Evinrude/Johnson dealer for 20+ years he also sells Nissan/Tohatsu & Suzuki. He said that he wouldn't buy a new 2 stroke ( even though he's been an Evinrude man for 20 + years ) because to achieve the fuel efficiency and stay EPA compliant they run hotter to achieve the burn that is necessary for this. After working on quite a few of the newer 2 strokes he's not impressed. The four strokes are getting lighter now and most larger motors are lighter than their 2 stroke competition and it wont be long before this will happen to the small motors, he said. Me personally I wont go back to a two stroke ( unless I can find a good deal ) I hated mixing gas + the dang smoke and noise. [/QUOTE]
