Two stroke bikes could have a sharp steep powerband because of a
transmission to help keep it "on the pipe". Outboards don't tend to be that
"peaky" as compared to bikes.

Agreed
Same bike, same impression.
I have the same feeling about my 4 stroke Merc vs my old 2 stroke. I have
lots
of low speed torque swinging a 14" prop on a 60hp with the 4 stroke.
