Tohatsu 30HP 4 Stroke 

Jh1982jh I wouldn't think the 30 would give you much more speed.

send it with a 40 or 50hp

Not much honestly. Look at the displacement on a 30 and 25 and then looking the power to weight ratio. The 30 is heavier with same displacement

JOE K they weigh the same

@@cohoman83 The 25 is literally a detuned 30...

Suzuki is excellent too, nothing wrong with any of them. Hard to find a bad, new outboard. Use them responsibly, maintain them correctly and they'll last thousands of hours and decades. Quality wise, it's so equal that you're probably better off shopping according to you nearest dealer availability, and what color you like.

Get a Suzuki, I know I'm late but I have a Suzuki 6hp

Tohatsu builds these for Mercury and Honda, just pop the engine cover off and compare, same motor

Wayne Swicegood this is actually a kickup plate. Cannot move it up or down. Here is the link to the plate. www.vancemfg.com/category-s/152.htm

I do have tilt and trim but any higher it starts to porpoise badly even with someone up front. I actually sold the boat to a friend who put a whale tail on the engine which helped out greatly.

@@Wyatt_M140 he getting more top speed then you know i know it cuz he able to trim his motor up better

Yeah it's not in the best position. Wish it was at the end of the handle.

BlackguppyRAW this one I think was 4600.

walk0327 thx!

Shturmann Auto it's a 1448 Tracker Grizzly.

I no longer have the boat but I think it was a 13 pitch.

Nothing wrong with the Honda but I prefer the fuel injection over carburetors. Plus the Tohatsu is probably cheaper.

LOL Tohatsu makes them for Honda, look at them together

Vance enterprises.

@@Wyatt_M140 ok thank you. Do yo remember model number?

@@deanf7086 the number is JPL9638 but this was just a kick up plate.

@@Wyatt_M140 Ok, appreciate your help.

The engine is awesome. I had a 15 on it before and it was a night and day difference. If your happy with your current setup save your money because they aren't cheap.

@@Wyatt_M140 I currently have a 15hp on my 1560 jon boat (~550lb dry weight) and am topped out at 12mph. What were you running at with the 15 on your rig?

@@davidh6396 I do not know how fast it was with the 15hp. Did not keep it very long.

30-32 mph.

Nicholas Carcerano with one person it will run 34-35 mph with GPS.

Is that with a trolling motor and battery and does it have a floor and what prop are you running

with one battery, trolling motor, no floor yet. 13 pitch aluminum prop that came with the engine.

walk0327 you think with that same load in my boat a 1448 flat bottom with one battery trolling motor and a floor with a stainless prop would go 37 to 38

being that mine is a 1448 I would say you might be topped out about the same speed as mine. Either way it's pretty quick and great engine so far.
