Tohatsu 3.8

I have just replaced the floor in my tohatsu 3.8 sib, it was rotten when i brought it 2 month ago so i have replaced 3 sections with just 1 section of 18mm marine ply, it has a 9.8 Tohatsu engine which i,m looking to replace with something bigger, its a shame because the engine is in fantastic condition for 7 years old but with 3 up and a dog its a little slow for me.

I'll outbid that poorly paid public sector worker by 50%. £15?

I'd guess its easy worth £650 in that condition to anyone! It may fetch much more and almost 4 figures with a few bidders. New 9.8 is circa £1300 but 4s. Other 2s 8-10 hp second hand are going for £750-850 but they're not so good a model based on forum comments.

I'd love it, but can't justify expense.

Hi Tony, some tech issues :

Is that a one single piece floor board between transom and bow panel ? Are you experimenting back or over transom water splashes when on plane with that Tohatsu ?

Happy Boating
