I'm getting ready to replace a 2 stroke 6 hp Merc kicker I had stolen off my boat a couple weeks ago. When getting the estimate for the insurance company I discovered that the difference in price between a 2 and 4 stroke is only a couple hundred bucks. So I've been thinking of getting the 4 stroke.

Any thoughts? Which is prefered by others?

BTW-- mine was stolen in the Graham/Spanaway area. Boat was parked in the driveway with the stern up against the garage door. Stealthy little ****ers. My grandfather used to tell me, "Locks only keep out the honest thieves." Guess he was right.
