			squid, i was in the same boat(pun intended) 2 years ago. i fought the lure of 4stroke until my 20 year old merc oil injection had a hiccup.  it;s a different beast, lotta pluses and a few minuses.  the way i justify it, old 2 stroke burns around 11 gph, 4S  around 7,  ive put 240 hours on mine, so i've burned 1680 gallons vs 2640.  thats a savings of 960 gallons @ $3.00. so about $1500 a year in fuel savings.  it will pay for itself in 8 years.
 this is the logic i have used on myself and it works so far.
 
 if you want to offset the cost a little, i'll take some of those decals
