Re: 2 stroke ban?
This saddens me... existing 2 strokes should at least be grandfathered in. This is like saying you can only enjoy the sport if you have enough money to go spend 10-20 grand on a new 4 stroke or etec. Boating is supposed to be a sport that everyone can enjoy. I am a college student (mechanical engineering) and i run a boat with a 115 merc tower of power. THere is absolutely NO WAY i could afford putting a 115 etec or 4 stroke on the boat..nor do i want to. Well the etec would be nice but 4 stroke? Yeah and bolt on twice the weight with not as much power... i think not. I love my old 2 stroke, somebody try to find me a new 115 that makes the kind of torque that motor makes.. i dare you.
