That being said, if your 150 is running good, why replace it?

At $4/gallon you can buy 2412.5 gallons of gas times approx 2.5 mpg, you can go 6031.25 miles with your current rig for the price of the new motor. (oh, I forgot oil, like I said, I love my 4 stroke)

I don't think your mpg will be a lot better with the 225 Honda, I've heard that they are a bit thirsty for a 4 stroke, maybe 3 to 3.5 mph. (this from a guy running twin 225's on a 28' Mako CC)

It would take 10 years of running to make up the cost.


That being said, if you want it.......BUY THE NEW MOTOR!!!!! (its only money)

How much better on gas do you find the 4s over the 2s? Lets say a day trip where you would burn 25 gallons with a 2s how many gallons for the 4s?
