I cant wait to give you a first hand answer on that.

the numbers for wide open throttle on the same boat:

225 4stroke - 42mph 21.4 gals per hour
250 hpdi 2stroke - 45mph 21 gas per hour (less gas)

but this boat is for fishing and over the life of the motor, the fuel savings are in favor of the 4stroke (at speeds other than wot) and the cost of 2 stroke oil (yammi-lube) will add up as well.
