Thread: What advantage does an outboard have?

    The BRP Evinrude E-TEC is a clean burning two stroke; less emissions than most 4 strokes and better economy than the old carb motors.
    They're the shit but the general public wants 4 stroke so we're pretty much hosed into more and more 4 strokes as time goes on.

    Takes about 200 more HP to do the same thing as my boat with the outboards...
    twin outboards 600HP
    single inboard 800HP to achieve the same results....
    Are you SURE about this?

    When you add about 1,000# extra for all that iron, I would say that would be a close estimation. :crossx:

    I hate to disagree with you Tom, but look at most of the bassers. I would guess that it would be 90% or higher green 2 strokes.

    Going to have to agree with everyone.....and add a few.
    When your stuff breaks and they ALL do/will the odds of both O/B's going at the same time is really low. Wait 'til you bust that sterndrive 25 miles from nowhere with the single I/O.
    No more "heavy" winterizing.
    No more crawling around in the bilge!
    No more noise police.
    Keeps the mosquitos away............

    and if you support mercury, jobs stay in America. Fondulac just laid off a few hundred because of better techniques. The only thing I can think of is computer robots, like autos. I am a jet boat guy. I still support you guys and agree with most of what was said.I like my frends old bridge ports but the new stuff changes so fast.The gurus have a hard time keeping up.

    yes I am...
    The F26's with 800's are running 110 a little more
    the F26 with twin 300's are running 108 to 110
    so for a few more miles per hour NOT many more the 800 will get you there
