there is NO OIL changes to be done on a 2 stroke.( except lower gear oil , same as 4 stroke)
oil is injected from a tank as fuel is used. does not stay in the engine as it does in a four stroke.

oil for the opti if you use opti oil is over 40 a gallon / which you will use 1 gallon for approx every 50 gallons of gas.

Did alot of fishing in a 19 and had alot of fun / that being said I think you will find very quickly you want something bigger.

I think you would be better suited for all the fishing you like to do do jump right up to a 23-25 footer. as you lose less days to weather and will find you wuold use it more.

I already wish I had just started with something over 30 foot, so I wasnt always looking to buy something bigger with the hassles of having to sell another
