I do miss my 2 stroke acceleration, but that’s about it. I like that i have a range of 175-200 miles vs 90-100 on 60 gallons of gas. As fas as cost of maintenance, that depends on the four stroke you get. Mine is an inline four cylinder, NA,very simple. Think dodge slant 6 or ford 190 6 cyl tractor motor.
The lower unit is the same as 2S, oil and water pump once a year. Oil about the same, 4-5 qts every 100 hours. Fuel injection vs 3 carbs, bout the same. Alternator vs stator, I actually like the high amp alt vs the stator
Now 4S s with superchargers,turbos, V blocks with twin cams, etc. that’s another story
The extra weight is a drawback
