Last year, I bought a 15 horse Yamaha Outboard for the dinghy, and even though it is quieter, more fuel efficient, and (sometimes) more reliable, I wish I had the old Johnson 15 horse 2 stroke, the Johnson never broke down, always started on the second/first pull, and was much lighter, the reasons to buy a four stroke in that small of a motor were almost unnoticable, but it supposedly is better on emmissions
