2 stroke or 4 stroke

[nekred]

I have a 2hp 4 stroke Honda and it is light, has integral gas tank that holds about a litre and will putt away all day long and still have gas left over....

there is no tiller, or reverse, you have to spin motor around for reverse....

great little motor for my inflatable and is very easy to start, always starts first pull, even on first start of the year.... the key is to run zero ethanol supreme fuel.

ethanol is for drinking not running through an engine....

The Honda is lighter by about 11-12lbs. If you look at competitive motors same hp, the Evinrude and Tohatsu is 41lbs. The Suzuki is just under 30lbs at 29.7 lbs, which is in the same class as the Honda which weighs in at 29.5lbs

Again, here it would come to price and the service.

The Honda is by far the lighter motor.

The honda is .2 of a pound lighter than the suzuki 2.5 you get an air cooled motor vs liquid cooled on the suzuki so that would the choice pretty easy suzuki every time
