[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 202184, member: 3278"] Guarantee that if you had two identical boats side by side the 25 two stroke would put the other one on the trailer in both acceleration and top end. Noise was mentioned earlier. Both engines will be around the same decibel at WOT but the 4 stroke wins when idling or off idle. Bad part about the 4 strokes (other than the fact they just sound so boring while running) is the cost of repairing one. Let one sit for a season while the gas goes bad and you'll wish you hadn't done that. As far as an out and out ban on two-strokes, I don't see that coming down the pike. The older engines will be allowed to run until they are retired and the Marine industry is fighting the good fight every day to keep the liberal idiots in Washington from over regulating the industry and finishiing it off.
