I'm not really in the market for a 150 so I don't keep up with it too much, however looks like the four stroke's weight issues are being addressed by the manufactures. Oh yeah, from what I hear the Zuke is much harder to get parts and service for.

Parts and service are exactly why I am considering the Merc. The closest Suzuki service to me is about 20 miles away but I have Merc and Yamaha in town. That 150 merc is the one I like and I like the weight at I have a 150 2 stroke merc on the 18 now.

Thanks guys. If I get any more info Ill share it. I have a buddy who may be putting one on his bay boat so once I look at it I'll post more.
