My sense is that too many people get paid to write articles that are of interest and appeal to the general boating public. That does not mean the articles are factual for all engines. My friends in the same business as you find under loading a "modern" propulsion engine is overhyped. Does your experience find the DD 2 strokes suffer any under loading issues?
