[Putershark]

Welcome Aboard!
I have owned and worked on both. Each has it's own advantages and dis-advantages pending on each person needs and if propped correct, both are pretty fuel efficient engines now... Some things that most over look though when buying one are,

1. In the public eye, I feel that the 4 stroke has a higher re-sale value. Still to many remember all the blown power heads in 2 stroke engines over the years.

2. If somebody you love has the tendency to turn green in 95 degree heat while in a pitching hull while sniffing / huffing burning 2 stroke oil (though less if you use Synthetic 2 stroke oil) then the 4 stoke is your engine of choice

Now some will say that a 2 stroke is a faster lighter engine... Very True, but no Triumph hull is really designed for a lot of speed as it is, so to me that becomes moot point after a while in this debate. These are fishing hulls and run best at cruise speeds and not designed to run 75 mph. If you want something that goes fast, then go get a Cigarette Hull with 2 big block Chevys
