reel_success Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Went out to day to start runnning in the new tohatsu 9.8 on the 10ft lightweight (one fast boat) Was thinking about calling it quits at the ramp as it was slightly raining, but decided to go for it. Cruised from tom uglys to oatly and anchored up for a fish near the baths/park for one flathead 39cm. Moved to east of como bridge for a snapper of 27cm. Went to run the motor again and it is as smooth as a bird off to taren point for some small whiting and small snapper. Went to chech the crab trap for a Big blue swimmer (PB) was a very good day with the new motor and some fish for dinner hope to see you out there Edited March 26, 2006 by cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martymonsta Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 G'day Cam, I too have a 9.9 Tohatsu on my 11ft Save Gull and can vouch for its smooth performance on such a small boat. I'm very happy with the ride of my Tohatsu. What model hull have you got? Nice crab too! Tight lines. Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reel_success Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 the 9.8HP is mounted on a 10ft light weight and pulls about 18 knots cruise and i would say 21-23 at wot but it gets scary then. the crab was the fullest crab i have ever caught and the flatty had alot of meat and all tasted very good. I will go to the runway and molinoix point one day but i will try the hot water outlet and sticks till i get confident to go all the way accross the bay.
