Nice side step of my rebuild comment.

They are. Mercury's OptiMax is direct-injection two-stroke. Yamaha has its HPDI (High Pressure Direct Injection) engines new to the market. Also, in terms of automotive applications, the Chrysler Co. Neon was originally planned to be a two-stroke with direct injection. GM, Ford and others have licensed the original DI technology from Orbital. They have a lot invested in two-stroke engine technology as a means to make smaller, lighter cars of the future that meet EPA requirements. So there.

Funny Add! Lets see who is laughing when you are all rebuilding your leaned out two strokes at 500+ hours. Geez I wonder why other outboard companies and car manufactures aren't putting E-Tec style engines under the cowls and hoods if they are so damn good?

You can haul ass in a merc but half the time its to the shop.

im not gonna say mercurys are as reliable as any of the other outboards, and the verado is a four stroke try that etec against a merc 2 stroke. bottom line , you wanna haul ass merc is the way to go

Do the research idiots... First and foremost I had a 97 mach 1 with 12,ooo miles before I sold it. The new tech. with the 2 stroke direct injection makes a 2 stroke more reliable less emmissions and more powerful than a 4 stroke... p.s. they did test against the verado, and SMOKEd it!!! four stroke sucks, two strokes rule... do the research

2 strokes suck, and these guys have built nothing but grenades for the Ski-Doo snowmobiles for 2 or 3 decades.
