I am in the market for a new motor. One guy
tells me the 4 stroke mercury is far superior
to the 2 stoke. Another tells me that the 4 stroke
is a new motor which probably doesn't have all
the manufacturing glitches worked out which is why
it comes with a 3 year warranty instead of the
1 year warranty for the 2 stroke.

someone please un-confuse me.

What's the weights? Try hefting both of them (by yourself, from the ground
to the transom ... and back) and decide if it's a factor. To me that's the
major factor because any advantages held by a 4 stroke kicker are outweighed
by the, er, weight.
