OK guys and gals. iv owned plenty of older boats and now im ready to bite the bullet and buy me a new boat. need your thoughts on motors
i got my mind on the 4 stroke 90HP mercury because from what i read the 4 strokes are easier to start, runs quieter and dont have to mix gas and oil.
my other choice is a 90HP optimax. iv owned a few carbed 2 strokes and i hated the starting and i hated the mixing gas. i know the new motors has vro and there now fuel injected and start better but which would you buy??
im leaning towards the four stroke. speed and power is not a factor. i do not care about holeshot or anything i just want to be able to hit the switch and go. sound is also not a problem i dont mind a louder motor i just want to be able to hit the switch and go.
so 90hp 4 stroke or 90hp optimax 2 stroke?
