I love my 4 stroke and would prefer never to own another 2 stroker.

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)
