I'm looking as yamaha's website and the 150 4 stroke is just 40 lbs. more that the same size 2 stroke model.

Am I missing something with respect to weight that they are not displaying on the specs sheet?

I was almost convinced that I had to go with 2 stroke just from reading posts, but if I can, i'd really like to go 4.

Mid 80's Mercury 2.4L 200hp is only 360lbs!! and they are pretty good on fuel.
