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.

What did that boat run before with the 2-stoke 40hp?
