Yamaha F225 (4 Stroke) vs. Yamaha Z250 (2 stroke) HPDI
My buddy is buying a new 2320 Parker Sport Cabin with every conceivable option, but he's unsure of what power to use and asked if I would post this question for him (you'll see this on iboats and tht):
I am finally ready to buy the boat of my dreams and am not sure what to do from the power standpoint. My options are the F225 or the Z250 Yamaha motor. From my reading, it seems as though this is a no brainer, the 4 stroke takes the cake, however the salesman recommends the two stroke. My main concern is fuel economy and Oil usage, the operating costs of the boat. The other concern is cost, but these engines are about the same price. Does anyone have any information that will push me in either direction? Any response is greatly appreciated.
