if you need a new motor, i would look at it, but if you have a good running 2 stroke that you have faith in, i'd keep on using it. i know fuel mileage is an issue, but is it really worth it. you hear about 50% better fuel consumption, but all that means is and increase from 3 to 4.5 mpg. if you run a lot at high rpm it will be less than that.
what ever you do , take pictures.......

that Yamah 150 fourstroke is a nice motor, but I doubt your going to find a real good deal on one, they are still in high demand. Ed's has them for 10,500. The best deal going is the 2 stroke 150 Yamaha, Ed's have them listed for 7,500

Can't go wrong with that motor. If I had the cash I would do it.

The new motor thing is awesome--but spendy. I have talked with the 4 stroke guys and the 2 strokers and the new motors are all close to the same on fuel burn--it boils down to cost of maintence and up front expense. This was my answer---Below
