Thanks

I'm going to be selling my mod-vee jon-style aluminum. It's 18 feet, 92 inches wide BUT only has a two-stroke Yamaha tiller. On the plus side, it has a 24-volt bowmount Minn Kota Riptide with Copilot and onboard, two-bank charger.

I'm curious as to why you want a 4-stroke ?

Probably since they are much quieter and burn a lot less gas.

Bajacoop----- a 4 stroke does not burn a lot less gas. I have had a Mercury 115 for 11 yrs. I like it. It starts as good as a car. It is quiet. I think it has a long life span as well. But the gas mileage is not anything different and because it is matched to a 19 1/2 ft Targa it may not even be as good as a 2 stoke115 . They lack torque. You cannot lift a adult skier out of the water with my boat. Another problem I have had is the fuel jets . Some of them such as mine have very tiny fuel jets that are manufactured with a filter in them. I had trouble with those from the git go. I took it to a mechanic under warranty and he punched the filters out and that was the end of the trouble. They are so small they will still fill up so I run a carb cleaner through them every now and then. In addition I try to start it at least one time a month during the off season.
