I don't want to get in a 2 stroke versus 4 stroke war here, so lets just look at the brands of the motors.

I like the idea that they claim to be using exact boats with the same weight etc. but using different brands of new motors.

Which new brand of motor has more power?

the video mentioned previously is not an old one, it was filmed and released only a few months ago.

If anyone is interested in how the boats and motors were setup, there is an article and a video explaining the procedures.

Well despite the fact I happen to like and run Evinrudes, The video would be more impressive if it weren't done by Evinrude. Anytime people or company's start measuring the size of their......anatomy, it becomes a matter of skeptical opinion.

They did use a Mercury dealer to oversea the boat and motor setups.

I agree. But, it is quite eye-opening...
