    2024 Tohatsu 6 Hp MFS6DWS

    I've bought the exact same tohatsu 6hp.. No internal tank. Your quote. ( I'm in absolutely no hurry to get anywhere) Is spot on.. I too am in my 60s retired. Small 14/36 alweld jon boat. Beats a paddle. I do very much enjoy the slower pace.

    That's exactly what I was planning on doing.. I've even dug out of my barn.. my old 13hp sps swamp runner mud motor. But it's heavy.. 120 pounds plus? If I buy the 6hp.. they say it's 58 pounds. Over half , less weight. Thank you for your reply.

    Thanks for your reply.. Yes.. fuel consumption is important for me also . The reviews on the 6hp motors is very good. I'm after total simplicity, just to go sightseeing, yes? Should be good to go Skinny river on YouTube, his little 6horse went almost ten miles on .03 gallon of gas. I thought...

    There's the Richline boat.. with my boys motor.. but he needs it back.. So I'm wanting a 6hp.. I see them online for about 1400.00$ I think I can possibly afford that.
