One problem with putting a 4 stroke on a boat designed for a 2 stroke is the weight. I don't know what your boat is rated for, but many people I know that have done that change and some experts I know all agree that it will bog down quite bad in the transom when you slow down. They don't have the torque of 2 strokers, so don't perform like you would think on a boat designed for lighter power.
That said, I repowered with Etec this season and at idle it is just a quiet as a 4 stroke, the engine is amazing. Sweet for trolling, (which I do lots of) And yes they ALL make noise running hard. 2 stroke scream, 4 strokes rumble. ????
Good luck with whatever you do.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

very good point Van. I was going to say something about the etec but he seemed dead set on four stroke. the other thing is he would not need to change any of his rigging with the etec so there would be savings there. I also rcently heard something from a rep that when running xd 100 oil they are getting cleaner emission than a 4 stroke. I don't know if there is any truth to this or not. They are a great motor that I would have to say is some of the better technology out there. |

I have a yami 150, 3 yrs, haven't had a problem. Runs fine on 87 octane.
Got a 6 year warranty. If you wait till around the boat shows to buy, they usually extend the warranty from 3 to 6 year.
