Bman had/has one I believe. I think he is/was happy with it. Hopefully he'll chime in.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall and hear what Bo had to say when someone walked in with one of them to get repaired. Heck, I bet you could even hear old Chester rolling over in his grave.

My father "FHC" has been using a Tohatsu for several years now. Best little motor he has ever owned. We both highly recommend Tohatsu!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
