Lol. Yea we like our fourstroke. I dont get the point of them. I know you fourstroke guys will get mad at this but fourstrokes are overated. They might be quiet and somewhat reliable,but they are slow and heavy. A 2stroke has a power stroke everytime. A fourstroke has one every second time thus creating half the tourque. We dont need a quiet motor to troll...We have a 9.9 pro kicker for that. Are motor only hits 45 mph . Now,before you guys say''well the prop is not rite,or it is set to high or low on the transom. We have a jackplate and an ss prop that hits 5950 rpm WOT. We want that scream, and feel like your riding a shotgun.. Are boat is rated for 150 hp. After i did the calculation from the us coast guard it says we should have a 176.5 hp motor. So a 175 would be at best. After all Its whoever gets to the spot first rite!
click the youtube link and you will know what im talking about lol.
The fourstrokes are quiet, and a sip better on gas then the hpdi motors.. Thats it.
thanks guys.
