my take on 4 strokes....unless you going offshore, it dont really pay.others might disagree but i'd rather a lighter, stronger, cheaper efi 2 stroke and mix my oil rather than a heavier,slower, 4 stroke that you have to take in to get the oil changed...

LOVE my 4 stroke yamaha. If you want a 4 stroke, I would stay with Yamaha. They perform close to a 2 stroke nowdays.
I change my own oil and do most other maintenance. |

I have a 50hp yamaha 4 stroke on my 17' and love it. Change my own oil also. VERY EASY

I fish in a bass club with guys with all makes, 2 guys have 4 stroke yamahas that I normally fish with, one had a 18ft with 115 and the other 19ft with 150 both express boats, both never broke down and get used every weekend, one is a 05 other is 08. If I was going to spend the $$$ might as well get the 4 stoke, pay more now and less on the oil.

OP just don't factor out the 2 stroke, (im talking EFI 2 strokes not carbed) my 2 stroke evinrude 175 sips on the gas and oil, i use the VRO(oil tank) so i don't need to mix my oil---even though many people suggest eliminating that VRO and mixing it yourself. |

that evinrude is nice. I wouldn't rule that one out, but isn't it a little heavy?

it isn't the etec..i wish..its the FICHT...(yea yea i know about the fichts--the emm was changed under warranty) its about 400 lbs, i think comparable 4 strokes are just a little bit more heavier..say 475-500 lbs.
