Etec VS Yammi tug o war
 
Pretty cool.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-7I00cZUE0



First off, let me say I'm a big Etec fan. I think they have the potential to be the best outboards out there..only time will tell. 8)

BUT, I don't understand why in all the head to head tests they compare them to four strokes. :-/ Yes, they have fuel economy comparable to that of a four stroke and thats wonderful, but that should be where the comparisons to four strokes ends. You cant expect a four stroke Yammie, Honda, or Merc Verado to hang with the torque of an older 2 stroker, let alone a new top of the line model. The top speed, torque, and hole shots should be compared to the new TWO stroke models. ::)


All that being said...it was still cool to watch. 8)

I think that's the dumbest waste of time (and a perfectly good engine) I've ever seen. Did those guys really think that the 4-stroke would be an even match? Even guys that own and love their 4-strokes would know better. sheeesh . . . >:(

Pipe...I reely like the e-tecs...but my bet is, it wouldn't pull YOUR Yam 200 under ;) ... 4 stroke to 2 stroke comparison is apples and oranges...

ok,

now I am no OB guy, but is a 2-stroke stronger than a 4-stroke? ???

EXACTLY!

Yes a two stroke is stronger..

WHY???

Re: Etec VS Yammi tug o war
 
All else being equal a two stroke is about 50% more powerful than a four of the same displacement. The disadvantage of a two is they dont last as long. they run harder, hence shorter lifespan.

This is why a four stroke outboard is so much heavier. They have to displace more cc's in order to produce the same power as a two stroke rated at the same HP.

I think they sell the fact that they can get gas mileage, lighter weight, low noise just like the 4 stroke but with the power of a 2 stroke and thats why they test against them. Not sure why they had to pull the boat until it sank. They proved their point way before that happened.
