Today I went out in a mates boat. Cant remember the brand but it was fibreglass with a Yamahahahaha 115 2 stroke hanging off the back.

I spent 3 hours sitting off the Pacific Responder while they did winch training.

That motor is aweful. It smoked and stank of fumes the whole time, it ran rough most of the time while idling or moving slow through the water.

I am so glad i got the 4 stroke and wont consider a 2 stroke in the future

The Pacific Responder. Not the sea swell. I spent 4 hours being bashed around in this crap...

Pretty sure I've seen the Pacific Responder in Newcastle at some stage Dave.
Yes 2-smokes do stink, I went out fishing in a mates boat with the same outboard, 115 Yammy...nearly made me heave.

Chin I am sure I read somewhere that it came down for the pasha bulka fiasco!

She is a monster boat. When I pulled up next to it to drop off Cory, it was like pulling up to a rock, it just didnt move in the swell

Looks like the Yalta triple 5 half cab I was hanging over the side of yesterday, puking my ring up and getting smashed up by big Kings ... we had the pleasure of the 115 4 stroke yammy.

Hey Pirate Pete, Ditto is the name of my boat......... and it has a two stroke. Thems the breaks. Yeah, they do smell, also cheaper to purchase, which gave me some options I may not have had at the time..........like .........BUYING A BOAT. I also wasn't able to get a poly yet, finances again, so I'm stuck with a fibreglass, two stroke which is actually a great little unit. Keeps me happy anyway.
