Are today's 4-strokes more powerful than the old 2-strokes?

[QUOTE="rabbit, post: 379889, member: 10250"] I traded a Mec 40 twin 2 stroke for a triple cylinder 4 stroke. The top end is about the same but the 4 stroke has more torque and planes the boat faster. It's much quieter, idles slower, is much smoother running. It burns much less fuel. Less oil and unburnt fuel in the water. No question the 4 stroke is a better motor even if it weighs 30 lbs more. The 2 stroke might have a power to weight ratio that's better in some cases but the most powerful outboard in the world, now with a version that's over 600hp (Seven Marine) is a four stroke. [/QUOTE]
