In fact, a lot of the discussion I have read on them has been about discarding the oil system and going to pre mixing the oil/gas.

I was very tempted to do that, but seem to have it working right now. This is boat number eleven for me but only my second two stroke. I will say this though, it does have some serious power at WOT.
Yep, twice the power of what my old stuff. A lot like newer cars, a lot of special tools and training required to work on them.

My fishing boat has a 75hp 84 L4 and my ski boat has a 1500 72 L6 (115hp). They have a very unique sound and pound for pound still stack up with newer motors of similar power. Fishing boat is currently undergoing floor replacement; they put unsealed plywood and covered it with carpet and called it waterproof! In a boat!
