G'day
I'd start with the lack of fishing room or not? I dont know much about fuel figures on in vs out. I'd imagine somehting like an injected 350chev would be better to run than a 2stroke 200hp, and maybe even better than a 4stroke efi outboard due to torque curve?

Outboard I hate to admit being the owner of an OMC Cobra V8 357 petrol inboard.
Beautiful donk and I love the sound of it but kinda heavy on the fuel.
At 25 knots in a seven motor cruiser, I use about 30-35 litres an hour.
Can get it back to just under 30 litres if I waffle along a bit slower.
Does take up rear deck room as well.
