Hello everyone just an update picked up my boat from Lake Area marine with the 2015 40 hp 4 stroke Tohatsu on it. Put in at launch and ran it for a couple hrs to on my 1648 semi vee hull .100 gauge. I am very impressed with the motor I had a 2 stoke 40 Tohatsu with ports opened up and 50 carbs installed on it. Once I ran it for several hours I wanted to see what it would do. Do not ever let everyone tell you there is no hole shot on these 4 stroke motors. In about 20' are less its on step and it runs 40mph with a stainless steel Yamaha 15 pitch prop with 2 batteries in front 1 battery in back full tank of gas and trolling motor. Very impressed with it gonna try 16 pitch prop this week if this rain lets up.
