Orange is easier to see when they are upside down!

Hi Mat, I have a 4.7 up here in Scotland (whispers old boat). The 1999 2 stroke yam is playing up and I am considering a new 4 stroke. You mentioned a F70'in one post. Do you think that is the best way to go for the SR4.7s? I have found a really good deal on a F60 but don.t want to regret not getting the F70. Any advice welcome. Thank you.

On our 5.4 the offset console helped to counter the natural prop torque of a single engine.
