I would look at weight vs power ratio. The 150 Suk 4 stroke is coming out soon if not already...that's what I would go for. Still great on gas. Are you going to use it for watersports at all? Need max hp for that. One theory is that you may run lower hp motors harder/higher rpms more often thus placing extra stress on the engine. Run a higher hp motor easier and may last longer and always have the ponies when you need them. It's hard to go wronge with any of the new motors out there, all major brands are close in performance and reliability....that leaves money vs hp vs warranty vs weight.
good luck, Emery
