Even though Tohatsu builds ALL Mercury motors 30hp and under, and they build ALL Nissan outboards, neither of them got the new gear ratio. Mercury has a 1.92 ratio which sucks on hole shot. The 2015 and newer tohatsu 25 and 30 has a 2.08 gear ratio, a stump puller. I tested the 25, it is a nice unit. No other new 25 will run with it in the marsh.
As for a new 40hp outboard, tohatsu 40 is 53ci. There's no replacement for displacement! That is why APBA races motors by cubic inch rating, there is no fair way to race otherwise.
