Comparison Test
Evinrude E-TEC G2 150 H.O. vs. Yamaha F200
A video has been making the rounds on the Internet for the last six months that has created quite a buzz in chat rooms and along the docks. It pits a Yamaha F200 against an Evinrude E-TEC G2 150 H.O. propelling a 25’ (7.62 m) center console. The results are eye-opening. We’ll give the punchline away: the underdog won. But was the test fair? BoatTEST has investigated and found Dave East’s outboard engine shootout to be completely and unarguably honest. The test aptly demonstrates the significant advantage of Evinrude’s E-TEC G2 150 H.O. 2-stroke engine at low and mid RPM ranges vs. a 4-stroke outboard. Can the 4-stroke Yamaha even get the 25-footer on plane?
