I don't think Evinrude makes a 4 stroke that big. Did you mean 2 stroke? Those E-TEC engines are awesome and the only outboard I'd buy. I love the light weight, simplicity, and low maintenance of two strokes; when those attributes are combined with efficiency and low emissions, it's a combination that's hard to beat.
