Best Engine Size

[barnacle]

Im not a 4 stroke person. I like my 2 strokes. THe DI engines are cleaner, burn less gas and are alot cheaper to upkeep than a 4 stroke. THere is no oil changes, no computer programing that needs to be done every 200 or 400 hrs. (I forget which)by a dealer, no timming chains to worry about. Plus dont hit something with a 90, 115 or 140 Johnson or Suz. 4-stroke with a stainless steel wheel. The crankshaft is off set on these engines. THe crank is gear reduction. THere is a very good chance that the gear will fail when stricking something. Now not only are you doing gearcase work but power head work as well. THe valves have no clearance. IF this gear breaks there goes the valves thru the pistons. Dont get me wrong the 4 stroke is a good engine. Im just a 2 stroker.
