50hp is 50hp. 4 strokes are heavier. 2 strokes burn more gas and need
oil.
Both are now pretty complicate

The Honda 4 stroke is about the same weight as a 2 stroke but with that
said I
agree with the first poster. This guy would probably be as happy with a 2
stroke. 2 strokes are usually the best choice for guys who use the
throttle as
a switch. (off or wide open)


I think this would be an good application for the new Evinrude E-TEC 50hp
outboard. It has the smoothness, quietness and smoke-free operation of a
4-stroke along with the acceleration and performance of a 2-stroke. The best
part is that it does not need the extra maintenance and expense that a 4
stroke requires. They are available now, come with a full 3 year warranty,
and in-field reports are very favorable. Check out the www.evinrude.com web
site for info and specs.
