    My Goodyear Sea Bee 25hp is a big twin in tire store drag. It has been completely rebuilt inside and out. Thus it is the best running outboard I own and very reliable.

    However I still run it 24:1 with oil. Why?

    Longevity.

    Spark plugs is cheap…Pistons ain’t. And as stated above, eventually…tho probably not in my lifetime…there will be a shortage of these power heads or the parts for them.

    But I’d predict that there is a much greater likelihood that 2-cycles will be banned from running on public water long before that day comes.
