50hp Yamaha or Tohatsu

There must be a lot of satisfied customers out there.

Hey jeff,

Yes! That's my point... If there in the field running and they do not break why do they need to keep parts in stock? They do not!!! If you are building a spare engine - what's the route, another complete cause you ain't gonna find many used ones around..

Dave, you buy one and I will see that you get the parts. Need a short block, long block, or just parts. Or are you just looking for rusty parts?

When the Tohatsu starts to win on a regular basis, then you can call them Antiques..

Dave, It was a joke! ....wining races has nothing to do with how old an engine is.....Hell, most of APBA's class's could be considerd antique do to the age of the motors being used!

I didn't want to start a Debate....... Was Just looking for somthing I know I will never find without doing it myself..............REAL INFO !

Let's all just go Racing


That means you too Jeff55v.......you going to get it wet this year?

Have a good day Boy's

Jeff A,

Yes I knew that it was! Hence the smily at the end of my sentence.. Mine was too..

Jeff, Dave Scott and I have talked on the phone several times. I was just poking at Dave as he thinks a lot like me. No bad intentions. I wish everyone agreed with "let's just go racing". I grew up wildcat racing where everyone ran no mater what it was and everyone had fun. No politics, just fun. I found racing Pro to be the same fun, but stock was always a different mindset.

By the way, I prefer Ron Hill's site as it has better technical discussions

that's what I am talking about boyz!!!!!!

I have convinced myself that is just so much easier to go AOF (or even NBRA) racing, rather than APBA...............lot less of a headache and no $^(#)@ holes trying to control every little detail of racing.....................takes the fun out of it!

as for them "antique" Mercs............gotta love them though, as they are the ones that pay my bills!!!!!!!!

[Jeff Akers]

hey Jeff my pal, ain't that OMC of yers an antiquer also??

She sure is.........30 years old this year to be exact




Neal, I kinda figured you guy's have had chat or two




Dave, aren't you the Canadian distributor for the Bass Tohatsu...

Hey jeff,

Yes! That's my point... If there in the field running and they do not break why do they need to keep parts in stock? They do not!!! If you are building a spare engine - what's the route, another complete cause you ain't gonna find many used ones around..

So if I follow that logic, I'd never buy a new car or truck. Because, after all, there are a lot more parts to be had for my old jalopy in the newspaper or salvage yard. And I can retrive spare parts from a salvage yard a lot quicker than a dealer can have them shipped to me.

Yes, Jeff A. I'll get it wet this year. I could go on and on about all the crap that has kept me on the shore. But I don't need to cry on anyones shoulder. And it would need to be on another thread anyway. Speaking of which, maybe we should get back to the original point of this thread.
Does Ron Hill offer any high performance props for either the stock Tohatsu or Yamaha? Are the props interchangable between the two motors? It sounds to me as if the two motors are very similar. A consideration may also be available props for the two motors.
