BIG BANG: One advantage of Evinrude's consumer- friendly two-stroke E-TEC is that it does not require a break-in period.

WEIGHING IN: Four-stroke engines are usually heavier. Honda's four-stroke V-Tec has a valve train that speeds acceleration. Mercury's two-stroke OptiMax weighs 138 lbs. less than the four-stroke Verado.
