4 stroke on a 21' SOB

**99fxst99** · 06-17-2016, 09:29 PM

Has anybody ever had or heard of a Yamaha or Honda 4 stroke on a Rally Sport / Velocity / Superboat/ etc and how did it work? Sure it wouldn't be as fast as a 2 stroke, but would efficiency and longevity be worth it?

Some kook up in long island has tried it with some success

Some say "where there is a 'will' there is a way" ... Others say "where there is a will there are...relatives" ....I believe in this case Eric Superbender (Super mechanic) is your man and he's On fire with his SHO.

Oh and it doesn't make any noise or use any fuel...

and i thought that was half the fun !

The next rumor you will be hearing that he runs it on a black 21 Superboat and that he has it running quite well......

On FIRE??? Hope he carries a fire extinguisher....

I hate motors that DO NOT make some type of noise but I'm OK with minimal fuel consumption...

Tuff boats has tried 4 strokes. I don't recall the details. You could contact them.

Don't know why a Tuff 21 wouldn't work great with the SHO. I can see 90+ right out of the gate, If they weren't so far away I'd have one, you just see them out west.

You can easily ship a Tuff from Eastern Canada to you in California for $3k USD. There is a used one for sale right now in fact. Personally I'd see what Nordic has in an SR-21 OB right down the street from you.
