Location: NW WI | Same HP motors but that's about where the comparison ends. The type of boat you're going to put it on plus your goals for the performance of the boat might dictate your choice. The Opti likely will give you better all around performance, but you can prop a 4S motor to get a good holeshot, while you might sacrifice a little top end. Are you going to troll? - many people will suggest the 4S. How long are you going to keep the boat? - the 4S might be more valuable to potential buyers. The 4S motor will likely outlast the boat. A 2S is still a 2S....will need to be rebuilt in time.
Are you paying the same price for either motor?
Me? - as long as I could prop the 4S for a decent holeshot, I'm going 4S for fuel economy, quietness, longevity and potential resale. Top speed does not matter to me....but maybe it does to you? |
