Tohatsu 9.8 2T shorty on Ebay - Page 2

I have got the same engine but in long shaft so I can use it as an aux on my big boat and mess around on the Sib. Have a look at the Sib club videos under upcoming rib cruises mines the 2.9m cream Sib that broke down. Don't let that affect you judgement on buying though!

I third that.

I even managed okay with 3.2 and 20 HP alone.

Sure it wasn´t a 4stroke.
I own the lightest 20hp 4stroke in the market (Honda BF20 short shaft manual start) and also 3 flattened lumbar disks...not to blame the engine for them, but I would not recommend handling alone such weight beyond forties.

I also have a 9.9 2 stroke yamaha (2000) model with about 10 hours use from new for sale.

Is it the 9.8 that is lighter? And can the 9.9 be upgraded to say a 15?

The 9.9 is a monster engine - weighs 41kg. It's basically a derated 15hp. There is a mungo 18hp version of the same engine.

Sod that I am sticking with my much lighter 9.8. Anyhow as of today it is now working again needed a new CD unit and the coil under the flywheel was touching the magnets and a lot of corrosion which was giving the impressiom that the engine was misfiring

I've got the 18hp version. The difference I've noticed is the ability to hold 4 adults easily on the plane at 15knots. Much higher torque at mid RPMs but little difference in top speed. About 22knots 2 up.

On a 3.3 metre SIB that is

The 9.8hp 2 smoke is 26 kg. Easily transportable and carry with 1 hand.
Best bang for buck for SIBS. I spent months on-line looking for a mint one. These hold value for very good reasons. Bomb proof and light weight.

I have a 2006 25hp 2 stroke tohatsu (the black/red model shown in the original post) how much do you guys think it is worth. Only got around 32 hours on it. I bought it in september with a mint 4m honwave and trailer for £1700.
