[QUOTE="flatheadsteve, post: 506851, member: 33666"] On the smaller <90hp outboards I agree the 2 strokes have a lot of benefits over their modern day 4 stroke counter parts. The new 4cyl and up 4 strokes are in my opinion better than the old 2 strokes though. The old 2 strokes that size went through a hell of a lot more fuel and were loud as ****. A couple hrs trolling for rockfish with my old 115 evenrude left me with a headache both from the fumes and the noise. We also had to carry spare sparkplugs if we planned to troll all day as there was a fair chance we could foul one. The newer 4 strokes that size have proven capable of thousands of hrs trouble free use and at speed you can have a conversation with your fishing buddy. Cheaper to operate too gasoline cost enough without adding synthetic 2 stroke mix in. Not a big deal on a little motor but a 150 2 stroke is a thirsty pig. [/QUOTE]
