If you fish large Canadian lakes, putting on between 40 and 50 miles a day is a regular occurrence, and then there are the days when you boat over 75 miles. It will not take long to recover the extra cost of a four stroke motor. A little less torque, a slower hole shot but great general performance without the need to add oil on a regular basis. In addition, four strokes are quieter, and some believe they are better suited for trolling (if that is a concern). After 10 years with a Yamaha F225 and averaging over 50 days of fishing and more than 2000 miles a year, I think I saved about half the cost of a new motor. So when the time to repower comes, I will buy another 4 stroke. I think you will be happy with the Merc 150 four stroke. Good luck!
