i'll let you know how it does, but it may be a couple of months yet till I get the boat finished and in the water. I am buying the motor now for the pricing and then rigging it later when the boat is ready. did you get my response to your pm a week or so ago? I replied but it never showed that I did, so not sure if it went thru.

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?

I was running between 38-40 but there had been a lot of work done on the 2 stroke. These new motors are strong and they have a lot of low end power the gear ratio in the foot has been changed makes a big difference.

I have run that same unit since last year. I can't find anything I don't like about it. I love everything on the tiller, a LONG tiller.
I got a chance to run a NEW 25hp 4 stroke Tohatsu. It was a rocket. I was very impressed, seems like Tohatsu is listening to it's customers. The 25 on a 1544 AlWeld ran 34 mph with just me, banging on the rev limiter, put Kyle (275+#) on the front deck, motor ran 32.4 mph still on the rev limiter. With a little setup time and the right prop, this will be a legitimate mid 30 mph boat loaded for fishing. It is almost running stock 40hp speeds. That's impressive compared to anything else on the market today. Doubly impressive for a 4 stroke. From dead stop to on plane was just as quick as the 40-50 tohatsu, I was impressed. For the guy that is in love with fishing Miami Corp, this would be the motor to have. I didn't have a chance to measure water pressure, but it was light years stronger than the old 2 stroke tohatsu. I plan on data testing this unit for Lake Area. The numbers will be interesting. I throw that out there for guys thinking about buying a 25 and just don't know where to start looking. Start with this one and then compare everything else to it.

Your posts always make me want to buy stuff I don't need.

Have you ran the new 25hp on a 1648 alweld yet? Whould love to put one onto boat.

[meat killer 86]

I have a 40 TLDI on my 18x48 Eric boat and I'm doing 39. 14 pitch powertech prop. Best motor I have ever owned. Hands down. It's the bomb.com

[splac]

Yes water pressure has come up a lot on the water pump and it sips gas they have listened to some one for sure they have made some great improvements on these motors. That is very impressive for a 25hp for sure mid 30s that's awesome.

[splac]

Yes they are listening to the customers for sure they have made a lot of changes and its all positive. I love the
Big tiller handle as well my new prop will be in next week Kyle thought he had one but he didn't. I think it will handle the 16 and increase speed a little as well hope so any way don't won't to loose hole shot for speed hopefully it will preform like a champ. What tachs do people use on these motors will a tiny tach work are is there something else?

[BassYakR]

Id assume tiny tach would be fine.
