Question

Who made four strokes outboards before 2000 in the 20-30hp range?

Answer 1

Honda and Suzuki made outboards in that HP range prior to 2000.  The first Honda 4 stroke sold in the USA was a 1978.

There were also 4 strokes made back in the 50's and 60's by companies like Fageol, Fisher Pierce Bearcat and Homelite but I believe they were in the 50 to 55 hp range.

Answer 2

Honda was probably one of the first to manufacture most of the 4 strokes in the early days.

Answer 3

nissan marine, aka tohatsu outboards......they are the same motors made by the same company, just with different names on it

They have made four stroke outboards for many years now, and  new ones are much less expensive then simular motors sold by other brands.  and they are good quality stong motors, I've owned several of them now.

they made 2-strokes outboards in the past as well, but only sell 4 stroke outboards now.  from 2.5hp all tehway up 110 hp
