A new Four stroke new is going to take a long long time to pay for itself even if gas does hit $5.00 a gallon. There are lots of nice two strokes on the market right now if you look. Especially the larger V-6 motors. A few months back I bought a like brand new 94 Merc 150 from a guy that went to the boat show and drank the four stroke kool aid. Motor looks like it has 15 hours on it. When asked why he would even buy a new motor he just said the new ones were more reliable. Asked if he ever had a problem with his merc, answer no it was just getting old and he was worried it would soon break. Gotta love it.
