TurboTodd, knowing everything you do about the yamaha 25, would you go ahead and get the upgrade for the stock pt&t (I know there's a lot to it and can get pricey) or just get the non pt&t version and buy an aftermarket pt&t? After reading reviews, a Bobs pt&t seems to the the tickets as far as...

Possibly. I haven't looked into a 20hp. Everyone has always said max out the HP unless there are restrictions. My plan to help offset the weight was to have the storage box up front and move the gas tank up there as well. I'm only planning on one battery at the moment and would rather have it...

I have a new war eagle 542 on order and was looking into what outboard to install on it. I like the new Tohatsu 25, but it weighs close to 180lbs (electric start, pt&t, long shift model) add battery and breakaway plate closer to 225lbs for motor & accessories. How much is to much weight for an...

Has anyone used a CMC BA 130 on an Alumacraft 1648? The boat is riveted, and I wondered how it will hold up with the transom after the set back. The motor is a Tohatsu 30hp 4 stroke. Any advice, experience or feedback would be appreciated. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I know this is an older thread, but I do have a question to ask. When you installed your stern seat did you do anything for additional support for the base? Or is it just attached to the bench? I ask because on my older boat I did that originally. But there was so much torque when you leaned...

It wont be 3 people hunting out of it, but carrying 3 hunters to and from the spot is the main point. I would hunt 2 out of it max. And I agree that the speed to the hunting spot is not as import now that I really think about it. I can just leave earlier, there arent any rules about getting to a...

Yeah, Juliette is restricted to 25hp, and WMA restrictions is what keeps me at 25hp. But since the 25 and 30hp tohatsus are the same size, I could just put a 25 sticker on the 30 ;) and the extra umph from the 30 would be nice. I just have to start looking at how much I use it on hp restricted...

The boat is rated for a 35hp. So its either a 25 or 30. No one makes a new 35. I dont wanna go used, but a used yamaha 3 cylinder would be sweet if I can find one. Does anyone know what year models those were by chance lol? The 3rd guy is always a maybe, but always nice to have the ability. 75%...

Im looking at getting an Alumacraft 1648 MV NCS with a 25hp Tohatsu on the back. Both would be brand new. The boat will have the factory floor and the Tohatsu is the 3 cylinder with T&T and the 2.17:1 gear ratio. Anyone know how this setup would work with 3 people in the boat plus duck hunting...

The Yamaha, isnt out of the question yet. I just havent done my research on them. The dealer down the road sells both Tohatsu and Yamaha so i wont have to travel far for a warranty issue or big maintenance. I was looking at the Tohatsu first because there was so little difference in their 25 vs...

Does anyone have experience with the newer Tohatsu 25 or 30hp 4strokes, 2015+? Im looking to upgrade next year and I have a Tohatsu dealer right down the road from my house. Boat will either be Alumacraft MV NCS 1648 or War Eagle 648 LDV Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Has anyone mounted there fuse panels/ switches on a waterproof box like a Pelican box? I like this idea so you can easily open it if you need to switch out fuses or do some repair. Just wondering if anyine has done this before and how they mounted everything. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

So last year when I was doing my build, I goofed and put the hatch on the wrong side of the bench. I installed it on the top on the left side, now I wanna move it to the other side. I was wondering if I took the hatch out and mounted a 1/4" aluminum plate across the whole top would that be...

After fishing some this spring with the new deck I've come to the conclusion that it's not quite to my liking. I love being able to be high up and sight cast but I don't like having to jump down to get anything or be scared of kicking something off the deck. I'm going to take the new deck out...

I found a boat on Craigslist that looks good to my eyes, however I do t know the manufacture of the boat and saved a picture and was wondering if anyone had any clue as to what they think it maybe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Crazy question but how tall are the mounts? I'm wondering if I'll have to make something so it'll shine above the gunnels Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For the guys who have purchased light bars for there boats, jeeps, or trucks how much did you spend on yours and what brand did you get? I'm looking online and there is a wide range on prices. I'm looking for a 12" spot flood combo and I'm finding prices from $50-$400? This makes me feel real...

Here's some pictures of the progress, I've moved the battery under the bench seat and it sits right under the chair. This helps keep the weight balanced because it's farther up toward the bow and in the very center, plus this helps open the bilge for a bigger gas tank or just clean it up some...

Exactly something like that I'm going to ride down the drag in bithlo Monday and see if anyone can do it for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://vimeo.com/157879365 Here's a short clip of the boat running with the 1987 25hp 2 stroke that I got back from the shop. I didn't bring a gps to see how fast it goes, but I'm sure it needs a new prop and still has a few kinks to get worked out before I get it tuned in completely. Sent...
