1748 War Eagle with new Tohatsu
Well, I just finished setting up a 1748 War Eagle with one of the new Tohatsu's. What a challenge. War Eagle is Arkansas boat talk for "SLOW BOAT". Guy has gun boxes, 3 batteries, enough junk to overhaul the space shuttle in the boat. I would be afraid to weigh it. Got it to run right at 40 with only me in the boat hitting on the rev limiter, actually 39.7, that's close enough to 40 for me. Added another 200+ pounder to the boat and it lost 1 mph and stayed off the limiter. Hole shot will throw you out the back of the boat. The owner uses it to guide in Arkansas, so he usually carries 3 other guys with him, he needed it propped to twist up loaded. The owner is happy, so I'm happy. That little motor has some guts to it.
I HATE BOATS LONGER THAN 15', THEY MAKE WORK VERY HARD!
