Tohatsu 9.8 outboard speed test excel vanguard 335 sib boat launching bunk trailer

[@BillTangy]

Great set up that, I just bought the same engine for my honwave t35, pushes it along lovely... Impressed with it so far.

Thanks

[@daveharrison9319]

i have the excel volante 360 with 18hp tohatsu and its fairly fast if need be. nice set up you have there

[@tonyallen1953]

Great honest review.Thanks for sharing

[@ryanferris7841]

Thanks!!

[@marklawrence855]

Very nice, lots of fun 😀

What hole is your engine trimmed at? I have a 9.8 Tohatsu 2 stroke and gt a lot of splash back on the transom of my 3.3mtr hydro force inflatable.

[@kierangrimley6978]

Are you still using this outboard? I have a 3.5hp but am looking to buy the new 9.9hp 4 stroke tohatsu. I am assuming it will be in around 16mph for my Excel explorer 300.

[@ryanferris7841]

Yes I still have it however I also have a Yamaha 9.9! The Yamaha is a better engine in my opinion smaller more compact and easier mananged

[@kierangrimley6978]

Ok thanks mate. You have some good videos on here👍

@@kierangrimley6978 thanks mate!! I hope to make more content like this however it’s getting the weather and the boats 😂

[@kierangrimley6978]

I should have also asked, does the 9.8hp get those boats on the plane ok?

[@ryanferris7841]

@@kierangrimley6978 definitely! However anymore than 2 adults you need a 15hp

[@keith2599]

That was great dude... I'm thinking of getting the carbon pro 365 with a 10hp....fast enough for me buddy.... Maybe 12 to 13 knots with the 365.... Who knows... Great video and test.... Subbed.... 😊

[@ryanferris7841]

Thanks so much!! I would recommend the carbon pro over the vanguard any day, it’s a better sea going boat good luck

[@lweleven3423]

Do you still have this engine would you recommend it I’m on a tight budget and fount a used one in nice condition

[@ryanferris7841]

Honestly pal I would not recommend it! Try and pick up the new model Yamaha 9.9 much better wee engine slightly heavier however a lot smaller and easier managed

@@ryanferris7841 thanks ,Ive found a mercury I may try and secure , Yams are a bit out of my budget

Hello, How do you find the tohatsu 9.8 now? I have been looking at ordering one

[@ryanferris7841]

very good lightweight quiet easy to start!! And in my opinion potentially the best engine in its class!!

[@Dazza_Chan]

@@ryanferris7841 Thanks for the reply. At the moment I have a 5 hp mercury 2 stroke. It's not so reliable and noisy. So the tohatsu will be a great upgrade 👌

[@ryanferris7841]

@@Dazza_Chan absolutely it will be a mega upgrade the difference in speed will surprise you

Thank you for link much appreciated

[@ia6980]

Hi can you give link to the trailer pls? Thnx

[@ryanferris7841]

Hi sorry the trailer was hand built 👍

[@Dayfisher]

Nice setup 16mph thats with two people on board on your own shouldn't be far of 20mph, 👍

[@ryanferris7841]

Thanks!! However with 1 onboard the top speed is the same just better acceleration 👍🏻

[@Dayfisher]

Yeah thought it was a 15hp ,very nice
