True, true. But the two-stroke 200 is lighter than the 4-stroke, and has worked out great for me. My former 155 got slower its last few years -- it got so that if I had any bottom growth and tried to carry 3 or 4 friends I had issues getting up on plane. Of course, it was an OLD 155. As for the fuel, my 200 is more efficient than my 155 was! :)
