Depends which ad is in front of you. The direct inject 2 strokes are as good and lots of times better than the 4 stroke equivalents. It also depends on driving habits, boat type etc.

The one being run at peak torque instead of peak horsepower. Usually that's about 2/3 of the max rpm rating.

All other factors equal, like he said. so all the boats weigh the same and have the same hull. now what do you say?
