| One of the reasons that I posted this, besides another veiw of an ongoing debate that maybe some guys haven't seen, is that it pretty much parralels my personal veiws. Much of what I think about the motors comes from running all the motors mentioned.
Of course everyone has run carborated motors and yes, they smoke a lot and are loud. The EFIs aren't a lot better, but are powerhouse motors. I ran a DFI motor for 2 seasons and it was substantially quieter, and had almost no exhaust smell with good fuel economy, compared to the carb and EFI motors.
I test ran several to many 4-strokes and they vibrate a little less,but not by much, they are a lot quieter at lower rpms and also at lower rpms they have better fuel economy. Not so different at WOT.
For a kicker motor, pontoon or small boat, the 4-strokes are kick-b-tt motors, but anything 75hp & up, I'll stay with the 2-stroke motors.
The bigger 4-strokes are just too heavy and you have to sacrifice either hole shot or top end. They just don't put out enough to have both.
In my opinion, for what it's worth.So, in your experience, what would you run if you had the choice?
