I have a san Juan 7.7 with a 8hp 2 stroke. If I were re-powering I would buy a 4 stroke mainly because of one issue, NOISE! I hate the buzzing of the 2 and would dearly love a 4 because of it. We wind up motoring quite a bit here in S. Puget Sound and the noise really bugs me after a while. If it was dinghy power that is another story but for main power for a sailboat get a 4 stroke.
