First of all, I'm not going to get into name calling. I've OWNED my boat for 23 years. It had a Johnson 235, three years later, I put a 200 on, in 2001 I put a 225 yamaha 2stroke I would cruise at 3700-4000 a lot. My f225 now cruises at 4700- 5000 rpms with the prop I have. What don't you understand that 1) the four stroke I have is geared lower than my previous motor 2) the 15" pitch prop turns more rpms. Saying that you use 20 -25 gallons a day means nothing. Saying that since your 200 hpdi works great, does not mean squat in comparing it to the inline 4 four stroke.
I don't know how the new 200 will work and from what I'm hearing from you, you don't know either. If the original poster ever comes back and tells us how it works, after he buys it on your recommendation, that would be relevant.
