Hi sorry the selling is no longer on eBay!! Try Amazon 👍

Hello! It all depends the 9.9 is perfect for no more than 2 adults when you start adding weight the 9.9 won’t cut the mustard! If I was you I would purchase the tohatsu 20hp and your done!! it’s the lightest in the market and is a cracking engine it has a different operation set up compared to the tohatsu 9.8!! my first outboard was an old Honda 9.9 that I absolutely loved however Honda engines are heavy and awkward.

I think I will leave it alone for now however down the line I might look at it again, thanks for your comment 👍

It’s actually very good!

Thanks, I am very pleased with the setup 👍

Hi, thanks for your comment, the t40 is the more superior boat but only slightly!! Cons - weight and its sheer size noise from the floor and in my opinion requires a trailer hard to manage alone hard to get small stones and shells that gather under the floor!! Pros- floor space stability and a flat safe surface for standing on After using the t38 more i actually prefer it and I can stand up in it no problem it’s so easy to manage and overall a more versatile sib faster too and handles better it’s sporty feeling I have now sold my t40 so I now would recommend the t38

Brilliant thanks for your reply 👍

@@YEOBOI1233 you’re welcome ☺️

Hi, are you referring to the wooden floor I made?

@@ryanferris7841 no , aliuminium floor

@@monacocross4241 the t38 doesn’t have an aluminium floor!

I generally don’t in flat calm conditions, in rough and more challenging conditions I will always attach the kill cord and always when children are on board, thanks for you comment and concern 👍

100 percent 👍

I tried everything and nothing made any difference unfortunately 🤷‍♂️

I see thanks

Sorry pal the eBay seller I got mine from is no longer on eBay 😢

The ply floor is great you will always get bulge however you don’t feel it under foot ! Performance of the sib was no different with the floor installed vs no floor, I ditched the idea in the end I’m Happy with the t38 as stock! Ive come to realise its a very good sib and serves a purpose at a price point, and for ultimate performance you need a proper rib however that comes at a much higher price point and a lot more maintenance.

Naiii

With the 9.8 plus 2 adults the speed is between 14/15 mph 👍

@@ryanferris7841 thanku

Amazon

@ryanferris7841 would u inform us how much? And what i should write to find it in amazon? Thank you in advance

It’s not great on a t38 because of the V floor! I did try the wooden floor and it was very good I never made a video because I realised I didn’t need it 😂 I can stand up perfectly well without it 🤷‍♂️

Isn’t it

Hello mate! Thanks for the support 👍

I’m well chuffed with it

Thanks pal 😊

Cleaned oot 😂

Thanks for the sub mate 😃 I would go out on average over the whole year twice per week, I go out mostly with someone 2 boats is better fun however I go on my own a lot

@ryanferris7841 that's pretty frequent. Would you say your sib is relatively safe? I'm based about 10 minutes round the coast from where you are in this video.

@@Inoscopedadog absolutely safe mate I’ve been to the maidens in some very questionable conditions and questionable boats lol it’s all about confidence

@@ryanferris7841 Sorry to reply again, but how did you get your confidence in the sea? I'm finding it difficult to find information about starting to fish from a boat.

@@Inoscopedadog tbh I’ve always went boating from a young age however first few times out at sea I was a tad nervous! The only way to build confidence is go out and do it!! And make sure you have safety gear life jackets etc and only go when it’s flat calm and don’t go too far out.

Hi, I would say use a good 40g to 60g slow jig they are basically all I use you will pick up all sorts on them pollock wrasse cod bass etc, search them on Amazon or eBay 👍

@@ryanferris7841 that's great, thanks - I've ordered an Ugly Stick - what kind of line are you using there please?

Hi sorry the trailer was hand built 👍

Hello, the long shaft will work however it will give you sub standard performance creating lots of splashing and drag

@@ryanferris7841 thankyou. Then i might be better of trading it in for a short shaft

@@julians2k917 definitely get a good short if you can 👌

Hello, the smaller version will however the problem with the t38 is the V floor!! The inflatable seat needs support at the base, the flat solid floor on the t40 provides that support.

@@ryanferris7841 must look into a solution to make it work. 👍

@@zxgeorgerI made a hard wood floor for my t38 check out my other videos and you will see it 😃

@@ryanferris7841 Seen that, hi how did it work out?

@@zxgeorger very good for standing on! I think if you made a small piece of flooring just enough to support the inflatable seat your problem would be solved

On eBay! Unfortunately the seller is gone form eBay 😢

Where do you buy the seat from !!!!!!? I'm in the USA .

@@samirelsakka298 try eBay! Unfortunately the uk seller has removed his shop 😤

amzn.eu/d/96WYWn3 found it 😀

Thanks a lot 👍! This will complete my t40!

😂😂😂😂im not wrong naii

Hello!! Yes lovely spot

It’s the msf9.8 it’s still in production and still the same I believe! Perhaps the 10/15/20 are different 🤷‍♂️

@@ryanferris7841 interesting , i have an recent MFS 20 and def not like that, maybe 9.8 is different, even though all 3 model were the same, just ECU and air intake different . mmh,

@@deaffatalbruno the 9.8 is completely different mate, it’s a lot lighter than the others mentioned! My cousin has the 20 and it’s a different animal altogether

Hi Ned thanks for watching be sure to hit that subscribe button 😄😄 the engine clears the wheels in every position www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225230670207?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=E48ybevcS06&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=HM3r7bI4Sgq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That was fast! The wheels on your boat look bigger diameter, right?

@@nedgeorganas I changed the actual wheels to solid hard tyre wheels because I got a few punctures the diameter only appears bigger because the tyres have a flatter radius in comparison to the originals

@@ryanferris7841 Thanks Ryan, would you know the T40's transom height? I plan to fit an Evinrude etec 30 and calculated the required minimum transom height so that when the boat is on the wheels the engine does not touch the ground. The minimum required transom height is 478 mm, assuming that the wheel bracket is mounted at the lowest edge of the transom.

@@nedgeorganas no idea the transom height! However I need to tilt my engine to clear the ground

Yes very reliable! However they have a 20h version 😄

@@ryanferris7841 I know! The 20hp Mariner version is in the boot of my car here along with a T38. Just off the ferry from collecting it of a nice guy in England. Maiden voyage maybe today lol.

@@zxgeorger I would live a 20h however I’ve just bought a brand new 9.9 Yamaha there at the weekend lol i couldn’t resist it

Hello ray! Thanks for watching my video the seat is a game changer however the eBay seller I bought it from no longer exists this particular seat sells out very quickly 😢 I will try and source 1 from somewhere and send you the link!! Please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already 👍👍

20 is plenty it will plane 4/5 adults no problem!! Lifting the yam f25 is a killer it’s heavy, the the 20 tohatsu is much lighter so if your in and out the boot of a car I strongly recommend the tohatsu, I personally wouldn’t have a 2 stroke again 👍

Getting a good deal on the yam f25 to good to pass so going for it shall need get to the gym lol if it turns out to much ill trade it on for a 20hp Btw have you tested the wooden floor you made for the t38 on water yet ? It looks good definitely going do that to my t38

@@ggallacher416 the f25 is a mega engine good luck Wooden floor was great however I realised I didn’t need it 😂 I can stand up on my t38 NP fantastic sibs

Cheers m8 gd luck 👍

Hello again m8 i didn't buy the f25 as you said its 2 heavy i really didn't fancy lifting that in and out car so going for the tohatsu 20hp when u said will plane with 4 adults is that on your t38 or the t40 ?

Honda motors are fantastic in fact they are my preferred outboard!! However the Honda 25hp is way heavier than my Yamaha f25, lighter trump’s heavier! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already I appreciate your support 😄

Tbh mate it’s mental 😂😂

30mph with 1 but it’s brutally hard on you 😂 25/26 with 2 up

EBay 👍

Hi I got the seat on eBay just search inflatable boat seat 👍

Yes 20hp

Goes well, much of a difference between that and the Yamaha?

@@zxgeorger not much! The Yamaha is 25h so it’s a bit faster

@@ryanferris7841 nice and lightweight the Tohatsu

@@zxgeorger yes over 10 kgs lighter than the Yamaha however I like the power from the 25, acceleration is mega and it does 22mph with 4 adults 2 kids and 2 dogs plus gear all onboard a t40

I apologise!! Yes the 20 is heavier I meant to say it feels the same to me it’s a mistake on my behalf, thanks for watching I appreciate the support

@@ryanferris7841 No problem as I said it may have been a mistake on my behalf otherwise I could lift a 20 HP therefore hyperdrive would have been an option.

the 9.8hp is 81lbs, the 9.9hp is 94lbs, which is probably the same as the 20 hp (short shaft)

Air keel/floors are definitely alot bouncer in the chop because they are very light plus the inflatable floor acts like a trampoline 😅

@@ryanferris7841 ouch, im a bitt worried with my dodgy back

@@ceejfletcher my backs bad too mate! What can you do 😢

@@ryanferris7841 buy a bigger boat :)

@@ceejfletcher I have honwave t40 with an inflatable seat check out my other videos! It’s perfect for back problems, the t38 is just for camping

Hi thanks for your comment!! It pushes it along ok until you add 2 people and 3 people it won’t plane so unfortunately it’s no use to me I regularly take out 4.
