Around 2004/2005. It's pretty much down to 4stroke v's 2 stroke. Any advice on anything would be great.

WOULD NOT BUY ANY OTHER MACHINE Post #168449 mcdoml865679 Posted 2/8/2008 7:17:43 PM Forum Newbie Group: Forum Members Last Login: 2/8/2008 7:07:29 PM Posts: 2, Visits: 2 Two strokes are generally faster (slightly), but everytime I go to the beach there is always at least one two sroke that won't start. I'm glad I bought a 4 stroke and I would never even think about getting a 2 stroke after seeing so many problems with them. I've also heard 2 strokes have a shorter lifespan on the engine.
