From the test I posted above it appears the i4 f200 is another Yamaha ploy to sell with the sticker. That is why I feel the i4 f200 the OP is questioning is not enough motor for a 23 SC. The torque curve of a 4 stroke 4 cylinder is of no comparison to a direct injected V6 that is rated above it's cowl sticker... and torque is what a 23 foot offshore, deep V boat requires.... not a "200" hp 4 cyl motor that is at best marginally peppier than a 150 on the same boat and identical at cruise speed.

I agree. I don't think a light duty I-4, 4 stroke Yamaha 200hp is enough motor for the 23. Too weak and pretty heavy too (Compared to a 2 stroke)
