Apples and oranges. 2004 4-stroke and the Sho. Ridicules comparisons. That 2004 is an absolute bulletproof efficient workhorse....but heavy & not know as "performance" motors for bass boats. That's absolutely true and I should have differentiated the two. Mine is a SHO but referring to the OP's observation that the boat sits lower in the back, that's happens regardless of the engine especially if it's a 250.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

I have an 89 Yamaha 100 hp 4 stroke on the 89 18'Skeeter Aluminum. It runs like a clock. I also have a 2015 150 hp Merc 4 stroke on my 18' Ranger, runs great.

The differences I am familiar with are fuel, oil and maint. cost are higher on 4 strokes. Yamaha Sho motor cylinders cannot be repaired. On avg. 4 stroke weight minimally heavier than 2 stroke. Initial purchase cost considerably higher than 2 stroke. You got 1 out of three right. Oil and fuel costs are less. Especially on a Yamaha Sho Sho weighs less than their 2 stroke counter parts. Older ones are heavier. But workhorses. Cylinders cannot be repaired on a Sho but can on regular 4 strokes. But if you buy a motor based on that you are buying scared. So don't buy it.
