Are 4 strokes too quiet?
« on: March 18, 2012, 09:40:59 PM »
Too funny. Guy'n his wife just moved to town, bought a 26' Sea Hunt. Nice boat. They pulled up @ Snake around 1:30 this afternoon. Around 3:30 or so Mama needed something from the boat, climbed aboard'n discovered the motor was still running. Swear to God.

This is why two-strokes are still the better engine .....

They're more economical on fuel.  ;D

I love the smell of 2 stroke in the morning, it smells like "freedom"!   ;D
