Location: minocqua, wi. | if i'm a manufacturer selling a 2-stroke with a long warranty i'd jet em phat which is pretty much what they do, outboards, sleds, atv's you name it. takes some performance away for the gear-heads but certainly not for john q public and allows for the underwriters to insure the warranties for the manufacturers.
the guy was asking about buying a used big-block outboard without warranty, right? ... 2-stroke vs. a comparable displacement 4-stroke, i pick the 4-stroke. it's just a safer gamble if you are going to take it on an expensive late-model outside of warranty.
so, if they de-tuned the race motor and it runs like an opti ... what's the benefit of the proxs?
