I have run nothing but Nissan and Tohatsu on my marsh boats for the last 23 years and have not had an issue with any of them. I currently have a 2016 Tohatsu 25 four stroke on an 1844 tunnel that I use to fish the Burns and Laccasine.
I wouldn't go back to a 2 stroke, I'm sure the same would be true for 2 verses 4 stroke 40hp comparison. The fuel consumption difference makes it a no brainer. My son has a 2 stroke 25 Nissan on his 1844 tunnel. We fished all the same spots one day in the Burns. He was by himself, my wife was in the boat with me. When we got back to the launch he was running on fumes, I had burnt 2 gallons.
I've heard the new Tohatsu 40 four strokes are slightly faster than the Tohatsu 2 strokes. I haven't run one yet myself though.
