[QUOTE="LarryMc, post: 426295, member: 13895"] I lost 2-3 MPH of top speed running in still water and the hole shot really suffered after the switch. I would estimate that it takes close to double the distance to get on plane with the 4 stroke as it did the 2 stroke. The lower top speed doesn't bother me nearly as much as the increased distance required to get on plane. There are times when running a jet that you need to get on plane quickly in shallow water in order to avoid hitting bottom with the jet foot. The 4 stroke just doesn't cut it in a situation like that. Check out the thread link below for a more comprehensive discussion of the difference between the two motors. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=41247 [/QUOTE]
