The great engine debate part 2

Depends on how you define "better"? The yamaha is a 40hp unit, no upgrade, it is what it is. The tohatsu is their 40/50 unit, upgrades by pulling the restrictor plate. The Yamaha is a 3 cylinder 45ci engine, the tohatsu is a 3 cylinder 53ci engine. Like they say, "there is no replacement for displacement". Not sure what Yamaha warranty is, the tohatsu has 5 year warranty, and the dealer here removes the restrictor before you take delivery. Again, define "better"? I have run Mercury's 40hp 3 cylinder 45ci unit, nice, but it sure is not anywhere near as strong as the tohatsu. Not even close!
