    Default 04 4-stroke Yamaha

    Just wanting to know what experiences you have had with the 4 stroke motors. Looking to buy a center console with a 04 Yamaha 150 on it. I said I would never buy a 4 stroke as long as I could get a 2 stroke, but this is to good of a deal to pass up. Anyone got any horror stories or not?
    Thanks for the info.

    If it's a heavy boat don't expect to pull skiers or knee boarders or a tube.

    What's your definition of a heavy boat?

    They are the best motors made today. The 150 four stroke has the best reputation of any motor in that class bar none. There are 150 4-strokes that have 4000 hours on them. They will outlast a two-stroke.

    I have had three. Still have two, and they are bullet proof if you take care of it.

    huh?...... how many boats out there are big enough to put a 150 on that weigh less than 1800lbs.....

    and pulling the skier has more to do with getting the right pitch prop than anything....
