Default 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke??

Hello, Would a 6hp 4 stroke outboard (1 cyl) have equal or better
performance when compared to a 6hp 2 stroke (2 cyl) ? I'm replacing a 6hp
Yamaha on my Livingston 7.5 tender and was thinking of using a 6hp 4 stroke
Tohatsu.

Yamaha no longer makes the 6hp 2 stroke. Weight is a major concern. The
Yamaha 8hp. 2 stroke is still available but about $300 more than the 6hp
Tohatsu 4 stroke so I'd go for the Tohatsu if perfomance were similar.

I want to get it right the first time.

Thanks
