Yes they do have impeller pumps available in the midsection shown, I beleive its a merc 500 pump and it works great. You can also run force fed to the low water pick up just before the skeg [requires 40mph w/ 1/2in feedline] The transome mount system wasnt available yet when I got mine, I heard it would be full adjusting -not just pin holes or 5 side cams. Anyone seen it yet?Originally Posted by Fast Fred
We've seen it right here on BRF!
Go to post 4 on page one and post #50 on page 5. I think that is what you are talking about ...

Hey Jeff: Good to see Tohatsu back on the racing scene. I raced for Tohatsu of Japan from 1993-1999. We started the Formula 50 Class in APBA. It began as all manufacturers STOCK 50hp motors of 45 or less cubic inches. We were allowed a nosecone on our stock gearcases, and a 1" or less hole in the exhaust portion of the gearcase. Could not have a scratch inside the block. As the Class progressed, the Yamaha's were given several advantages to attempt to help them stay up with the Tohatsu. They never accomplished their goal and the class died off about 1996. Here is a shot of the last boat I had built for the class. Not sure how you guys are running, I managed to run 82.7 mph with this YEEEHA tunnel. This was the second generation YEEEHA, it led to the demise of the class. This boat was 13 mph faster than my original. The original was about 3-5 mph faster than the Yamaha's on the exact same hulls. I went through 7 powerheads the first year, spun crankshafts. The second year, 1994, I was allowed to tack weld the cranks, it was all over then.
That was awesome speed.
I guess you still have the prop, wanna to sell, PM me.
APBA let us weld the cranks on the Tohatsu's in the Formula 50 Class back in 94. It won't last 2 laps without a welded crank. First year of Formula 50 I spun 7 cranks. We were allowed to weld the cranks for the 1995 year, it was Katy bar the door.
