About 6 weeks ago, I asked for input on moving up to a 4 stroke and several folks took the time to give me some food for thought. After digesting all the input and weighing the pros and cons, we bought a Honda bf50. Only have about 10 hours on it so far, (Darn heat keeps Granpa in the a/c) but those hours have been an eye opener. I was expecting the quiet operation, no smoke, no smell, scenario and wasn't disappointed. What has surprised me is how strong the engine is. Not only high totque but the speed has increased significantly. I haven't gone wot yet since we are only half way to break in but I 've already experienced more speed than a Granpa oughta. I know that it is too early to make any judgements but so far this engine is a thing of beauty. As a matter of fact, it looks a lot better on the boat that the old evinrude did. Thnks for the input.
