Lately, marketing for 2 strokers mentions higher maintenance for 4
strokers.
Any truth to that?
Any opinions on 4 versus 2?

Thanks, Bill

On the basis of a year and a half of running it, I would look at the
Evinrude E-TEC. Two stroke but is accepted in California with their high
emission laws. My 90 HP has performed wonderfully. I understand they are
coming out with a 115 shortly. I just got back from fishing around Bahamas
and the last guides we fished with on this trip were using E-Tecs.
