New Boat???
Knocking around at the idea of purchasing a new boat... been looking at the 1752 weld built line and a 50 hp tohatsu tiller... my question to you fellas is has any of you had any experience with the tohatsu 4 strokes? I also have the chance to get a 1648 war eagle with a 2002 50 hp merc 2 stroke..has anyone owned the merc? Wondering about fuel economy and power with both motors...

I have a 2013 1648 War Eagle with a 30hp Tohatsu tiller. It is up for sale. I am currently waiting on a new boat and have stuck with Tohatsu. Engine runs great, plus comes with a 5 yr warranty. Have had zero issues with the motor.
Re: New Boat???
Get the tohatsu forty pull restrictor plate and haul ass save money too. They are great motors and putting out som badass speed with the ambush/havoc/edge boats.

I have heard of people doing that with the tohatsu's! I went to Jackson area today and shopped around looking at different makes.... Just couldn't quite find a flavor I liked.... I want a havoc, but I'm too cheap....

I have driven one of the new 40 hp 4 stokes recently. It's very impressive.

A 1656 Havoc with a 50 tohatsu is scary fast! And i've heard nothing but good things about them!

I had a 9.8 Tohatsu 4stroke. They make all smaller (25hp and under I believe) 4stroke engines for Nissan, Merc as well, just rebranded. They are fantastic engines. I see no reason based on that alone that the 50's would be any different. I've never heard a peep of trouble out of anyone that owns the bigger ones. Very quiet, easy starting, easy to maintain. They would be on my short list if I were in the market for a new motor.
