etec vs 4 stroke

[Ryank]

I had 225 hondas on the back of a 29 whaler, they had 5400+ hours and you could still barely hear them. 2 strokes definitly have more get up and go, not sure how that compares to a zuki 250 or 300 swinging a huge prop. If you are ok with a comfortable cruise speed, and don't mind a few exta seconds to get on a plane the extra 100lbs shouldn't matter.
