So power wise you are saying it is close to the power of a YS 1.40 Sport??!? Wow, for the money and weight (almost 2 oz heavier) I would have at least expected it to be close to the 1.70DZ. Who would want that?
Robbidos,

I don't understand what you are saying. The OS weighs 1.5 oz more with the stock mufflers, and a little more than an ounce more (40 g) than the YS without mufflers. The OS costs less than the YS too. Reports I have read place the power in the same ballpark as the YS 1.40 sport, but on 15% instead of 30% fuel, with the added capability of swinging a much larger prop more like the 1.60fx. The OS 4-strokes I have owned


Chuck, it is my understanding the 200FI is "supercharged" similar to the YS. Too bad they don't make a carburetted version with the pump and supercharging.
Actually, it weighs 3.5oz heavier (31.75oz vs 35.27oz, neither with the muffler) than the 140sport and costs 3 times as much ($429 vs $1299) as the 140 sport. It is 1.5oz heavier than the 170DZ and it is only $690. Why on earth would anyone use it if that is all it can put out power wise?
