New motor!
 

Lake area marine hooked me up today. Hung my new 40 turned 50 on my boat. Now I gotta get some hours on it before I heat it up in lacassine! I'm ready. I think there are some fish in Toledo wit my name on em this weekend. Oh yea and Paul I gave a shout out to Stevey for you.

Should have stuck it on one of them new Edge boats they sellin

I would've if I was rich. For now the old weldbuilt will have to suffice.

Looks good on the back of any boat! Congrats!

I hope to be getting 1 in the next few weeks.

I haven't seen Stevey for her to tell me about it yet, but thanks.

Sweet....looks like you need a tiller extension with that 20inch setback

Yes definitely will need one! Lol

Paul, you want a 25 Merc?

That's what I have now. I'm looking to upgrade some.

Gotcha. Know where one is at...

Once upon a time i filled a 40 horse tohatsu with red diesel and ran it all the way from cal point to west cove and back pushing a floating crane and a boat...and it ran the whole time. Those Tohatsu's are some beasts!!!!!!

I cranked it in the drive way and to my surprise it sounded more like a sewing machine than an outboard motor. Didn't rattle windows on the next block like my old merc 40 did.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's is sweet. Congrats on the new motor. That thing is gonna shat and get!!!

Drop it by the house, I'll gladly put some hours on it for ya.

4 stroke.

:confused::confused: That's not a 40 HP TLDI?

All Tohatsu makes the 40 in now is the 4 stroke I believe.

+1

It's a 2 stroke

I think they are one of the last, if not the last, to still make a short shaft 2 stroke..... I maybe wrong but it would be first time ever;)

You Sir and Spunt Drag are correct. I just looked on their website. It is in fact a 2-stroke. :o

Nissan is still 2-stroke too...........Love mine!!!

Can I gloat now:D...... haha, hehe..... You are just off your game Paul, its all them nites you been on. So are you gonna buy you a whole new rig when you get off or just a motor

Nissan and Tohatsu is same motor just differnt sticker and price

Just a motor for now, when I buy a new boat it will be a 24ft bay boat!

That will be nice

you have one! my motor is bout shot!

It's a 2 stroke. TLDI

Tohatsu
 

What size weldbuilt do you have it on? I am looking into getting one soon and was just curious how quick it was and what kind of fuel consumption it has....

16/48. I haven't even put it in the water yet. But I will post up the number once it's broke in and run it. But from what I heard they do pretty good.

I have a 15/52 so it ought to roll pretty good..

They said they ran one on a 15/52 edge and with a 17p prop they ran 54mph. But lost it with a load. Put a 14p powertech and runs low to mid 40's. With a fishing load.

That would be great. I had a 25hp tohatsu 4 stroke and I could get 30mph by myself but it would die with a load.
