2 stroke vs 4 stroke?

Jerrod, take a look at this website

Yamaha F60 $6495
http://www.boats.net/outboard_motor/Yamaha/60HP/parts.html

same motor in Canada is $9142
obviously the freight and customs would be significant.
wonder if anyone here has ordered motors from the U.S. ?

2 stroke is unbeatable in the power - weight ratio
but most of the manufacturers that produced that type of combustion, dropped that line ...........???

I dont think Yamaha Canada will warranty motors bought in the US

I have been running 200 opti's for 6 years now and have to say the 4 strokes have reached the mark for weight and power and efficiency. I will be getting a new 225 verado soon. They seem to be making the grade from what I hear. I would have liked to have got one 3 years ago but they were too new then and I didn't want to be a lab rat for that tho looking back now I wish I did.

Good thread!

If I were in the market for a new engine I would give the E-Tec serious consideration. They are light, don't smoke and run very quietly.
