I got a chance to run a NEW 25hp 4 stroke Tohatsu. It was a rocket. I was very impressed, seems like Tohatsu is listening to it's customers. The 25 on a 1544 AlWeld ran 34 mph with just me, banging on the rev limiter, put Kyle (275+#) on the front deck, motor ran 32.4 mph still on the rev limiter. With a little setup time and the right prop, this will be a legitimate mid 30 mph boat loaded for fishing. It is almost running stock 40hp speeds. That's impressive compared to anything else on the market today. Doubly impressive for a 4 stroke. From dead stop to on plane was just as quick as the 40-50 tohatsu, I was impressed. For the guy that is in love with fishing Miami Corp, this would be the motor to have. I didn't have a chance to measure water pressure, but it was light years stronger than the old 2 stroke tohatsu. I plan on data testing this unit for Lake Area. The numbers will be interesting. I throw that out there for guys thinking about buying a 25 and just don't know where to start looking. Start with this one and then compare everything else to it.
