Why would you choose one type of propulsion over another?

I think the 4 stroke outboard has really closed the gap between I/O
and outboard. For small boats (20 or less) outboard is certainly the
way to go. If you keep your boat in the water I can't think of any
good reason for an I/O. The efficiency edge is gone now.
Once you get into the McYacht category (30+ cabin and such) inboards
rule.

foure stroke outboards are passe' - outmoded technology surpassed by
newer, better, faster and more reliable two stroke technolocy.

Yeah, your French is great, but *why*?

?

*Why* are two strokes the way to go?
