Four stroke are also quieter and don't have the thick exhaust of two strokes. I had an Evinrude 150HP VRO 2-stroke on my last boat and you could choke from the exhaust. If you can handle the additional cost and weight, four stroke is the way to go. It doesn't hurt that they're more reliable as well.
