I am going to purchase a 2009 Model that has been in the water only 3or 4 times, so the owner says, and I have reason to believe him. Anyway, he says its rated for up to a 60. He has been running a 40 tiller(the boat has no console, which is what Im looking for) and says it runs the boat very well. My problem is 40 2 stroke tiller motors arent easy to find and when I find them they are pretty **** expensive. I have found plenty of 25's and 30's though, and they are in my price range. Now I know it will be no race horse, but as long as it will plane me and possibly anther person, Im fine with that for now. I can always start saving more money and get a new Tohatsu 2 stroke!
