After listening to you guys i have ruled out a 2 stroke ( including an e-tec) my next two decisions are size an brand.

After getting into specs i was very suprised to find the new 2014 suzuki 30hp 4 stroke weighs only 11 kilos more then the 2 stroke and over 20 kilo lighter ! then the yamaha equivalent.

This got me ringing around and he consensus amongst varying boat salesmen appears to be

"yamaha tried and tested best 30hp 4 stroke for a long time"
+
"new 4 stroke 30hp suzuki outdoes the yamaha in every test from consumption to speed and is faster at wot then its 2 stroke equivalents, reliability cannot be spoken for as it is a new engine"

Ive got to say after this anictodal evidence and the weight specs i kind of think it will be the suzuki.
