I am in a little different dilema about a 2 or 4 sroke. I currently have a merc 125 two stroke. We are thinking about a new boat and the question is will a four stroke or even an optimax idle slow enough to troll cranks, 2mph is what my motor does now. Obviously for anything slower I use the bow mount. I am trying to avoid a kicker at all costs and am wondering if a four stroke or optimax will do the same as my motor I have now. I am not being brand specific by any means so comments about the HPDI or others are welcome.
