Re: OB preference: 2 stroke or 4 stroke?
Depends on what your needs are. On smaller 18-19 foot model Bass boats it is hard to beat the good old reliable Merc XR6 150. Same cu. in. displacement as a 200 with bigger carbs than a 175. Developed as a cheater during the days of 150 hp limits. Something about that SCREAM of the XR6 engine over the dull hummmm of a four stroke that moves my soul. Manage the possibility of corrosion in the carbs and fuel systems during periods of storage and you will have a reliable engine that gets you there and back for years.
