The 4 strokes are heavy and at higher rpms, they're just as noisy as a newer 2strokes. What I really like about the smaller 4 stokes is if your using a portable gas tank, you can just put the left over fuel in your car, so you can always run fresh fuel in boat motor.
This year I've been fortunate enough to spend alot of hours on 2 boats with new 225 4stk yammis, a 23 grady gulfstream and a 23 parker sportcabin. What I found stange was the Gradys motor had a max rpm of 5500, and the parkers goes up to 6100? The parkers motor has over 200hrs on it, the grady is just over 20hrs.

I'm looking forward to see what the the new rude etec's do.
