General Zod Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Went to the boat show and after buying a small inflatable a while back for the rivers, windang, long bay (eastern subs) etc, it was hard to decied which motor to get. Tohatsu 3.5hp looks good, but the suzuki 2.5hp is light at 13kg and then theres the honda light as well at 12kg and the thing i like about it is no flushing required after use which means i can launch any where only thing is, it has the least power. Mercury and Evinrude are made Tohatsu so why pay more for a sticker. The Tohatsu would good really good on the inflatable which is only 2.3m long but 18kg it is heavy. I maybe buy one if i could test it, but i really need to test all of them. Ive looked at youtube and now want to ask if anyone here owns any of the above. Does anyone have one of these motors and can give a little bit of feed back or experience on them. Would anyone be willing to take me out on a test drive if they have one. the way im leaning is Honda 2.3hp, Suzuki 2.5hp, Tohatsu 3.6hp any help would be great only after four stroke, as the two stoke smoke gives me headaches.

bassboy888 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hey Zod, i am a very very big fan of the suzuki brand, they are a very reliable motor and solid unit.... That's my suggestion so best of luck with the purchase and enjoy exploring those smaller waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
