been running and racing high-performance two-stroke race sleds for over 20 years and as long as you have fuel/oil delivery and exhaust systems that are set up properly you can run the dog out of them ... and these outboards are essentially "de-tuned" and run fat from the factory to protect from warranty claims so there's even more you can get out of them "safely" if you ever wanted to ... anybody saying you can't run the full range top and bottom of a 2-stroke doesn't know much or hasn't held the throttle very long.

if motors blow, there is a "flaw" ... either fuel/oil delivery, cooling or exhaust ... plain and simple

the old opti's had a cooling issue with the way it was engineered ... i got to pay for 2 of them in a row back in the day ... there are surely other "flawed" either motors or designs but thinking that you have to "protect" your motor would really suck ... i like to use the stuff i pay a lot for.
