Thanks: 
Reply With QuoteI may have been wrong on that last statement. I had a pontoon years back that had a 50 and the lady said I didn't need it because the law states above 50hp it was required. I just read it and it said 50 and above. Sorry.

25 2 stroke Johnson on a 542 Wareagle runs 28.3, but speed goes away fast as you increase the load. I'm about 99.9999999 percent sure 28.3 is fast enough to eject a person in the right conditions. Kill switch and life jacket are a boaters best friend. This is your Boating Safety PSA. Now go buy the biggest motor you can afford. Hang it on that boat and let us know if it will blow your hat off.

First 600 lbs of people is over load for that boat, and a 1650 express has a 40 hp limit so probably that for your boat too. Now my question is why would you put a boat on the water with no insurance?

There is a fellow here in Lake Charles has a Merc 40 tuned to 60hp and will do 63mph on an Edge 15/52. He races boats and builds motors. He does advisory for Edge and does tests on marine products. He says the new motor in 40hp to buy is the Tohatsu 40hp 4 stroke. He bought one the day after he did a test run. It jumps on plane like a 2 stroke. Remove the restrictor plate and its a 50hp. Everyone around here are buying them for the marsh. It pumps 26 psi of water pressure. There is a waiting list.Originally Posted by Gomer Snerd

Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

Insurance is dirt cheap on a boat. Don't let insurance stop you from getting what you want. If the insurance is an issue you probably should stay home and use the motor money for groceries.

Going to buy a new outboard...wanting opinions.
I'm putting a Tohatsu 50 4 stroke on a new Tim Scott built 1656 Havoc boat today. They are great engines!!! I still sell lots of the Tohatsu TLDI engines also. Gonna be a fast booger!!!!
Tim left Waco where he was building the Edge boats and started his own company Titan Marine and the duck boats are called a Havoc. They also build a DBST ( Duck Boat Step Transom) and a MST ( Mud Step Transom for a mud motor) with the step transom being similar to the Excel F4.
BTW, Tohatsu also offers a 4 Stroke engine from a 60-250 now. They are pricey as they are built by Honda. The New 40 and 50 4's are built by Tohatsu.
