    2 stroke VS 4 stroke

    Sounds honest and unbiased.

    I've thought recently that if I ever trade I would look at the 4 stroke for fuel efficiency and noise reduction. Based on this study I better rethink that.....

    Wow!!! That was really surprising to watch. I wonder if they would have used a 200 SHO would the results have been different?? I realize there isn't a lot of saltwater guys running SHO's but I just wonder if the results would have been any different.

    definitely would have been better with the SHO

    I have been getting the Boat Test emails for many years now. It has been interesting to see what they put out. In my opinion, Boat test is biased towards Evinrude, Tracker and NItro for the bass side of things and you can follow the same trends on the saltwater side too, with Mako being their "top" boat.

    Interesting indeed. Wonder if there is a reliability difference between 2 vs 4 stroke.

    I'm sure there are some out there and probably someone will come along and speak up I'm sure, but I've yet to talk to someone that owns or has driven a G2 that didn't absolute love it. Several in our club and they all swear by them.

    Just goes to show how usable torque is when getting on plane and lots of other common situations. Torque really comes into play when loading your boat down. Very neat "study" and impressive results by the G2

    Try scrolling down until you can see the video above the part that blocks it. Hover over the bottom right corner of it and select full screen.
