I'd also add that in addition to power, weight is a factor on the outboards. The four-strokes can weigh as much as 100 lbs more than the equivalent 2 stroke. Plus, I know some of the older V20s had lower transoms (for 20 inch OB shafts), so that extra weight can really matter. I purchased a 2 stroke e-tec a few years ago and the weight difference between the etec and the new 4 strokes was a big considerations for me.
