I can't speak for the 25, but I have a 2016 tohatsu 30 hp four stroke. I had a 2000 model 30 hp tohatsu two stroke and the new motor performs better. Better holeshot, better load carrying. I haven't gotten top end numbers loaded down yet but I am confident it will be better than my old motor by about 2 mph. I can't believe it gets a loaded boat on plane as well as it does. I run an alweld 1448

My son's is a Styron shop built hull. Appears to be very similar weight wise to mine. He has a rebuilt 1993 25 Nissan. I think he is running a 13 pitch prop. GPS at 29-30 with him, 12V trolling motor, 1 battery and fishing gear. He travels a lot lighter than I do. We both wieght in the 245-250 lb range. The old motor performs really well, mpg just sucks. |

When the sun hits it just right the dark blue Tohatsu looks black. Close enough for me.

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. |
