Hi all,

I am contemplating purchasing a new o'board for my 4m glass boat. It would be a tiller steer, electric, T/T, in the 40HP-50HP bracket. 3 cyl Yammies would fit the bill, however they are not cheap! "Zooks" and Mercs are also in the equation.

I am thinking of future 're-sale' value, (say after 5 yrs), but a lot of 'fisho's I talk to, love their 2/Stroke 'Yammies'. Maybe a 40HP 4/Stroke Suzuki, or 4/Stroke Yammie? (Good 2nd hand ones hard to come by).

Transom weight is very important.....say 90kg, approx. Do you think 2/Srokes will still be around in say 5-7 yrs? or will the "greenies" force them out of production?Any information, opinions, greatfully accepted.
