[tartuffe]

When I sit on my *** watching boats go by my patio in the Florida Keys, a high number of boats have E-Tecs. I would say those boats are in the harshest environment in the U.S. and I would think with year-round boating more hours than anywhere else.

I think it boils down to this when it comes to market share, people want 4-strokes because that's what the masses want. They simply don't know that 2-strokes today are just as quiet, more fuel efficient, better low-end torque, far less scheduled maintenance, and weigh less.
