Man, your smile and woohoo made me smile. Happy for you. Can't wait to get myself out on the water one day.

Watched your videos back when I was thinking of getting one. Thanks dude. Love your excitement

Love the way one can feel how enjoyful your tests are... Now I know which engine Im gonna bye. Thanks

Looks like a good run! Thanks for posting!

@2:15 , that smile! God love ya brother! Can't Wait to get one!

Awesome vid bro, looks fun 👍

Very nice video, thanks alot

Very useful test Thank you very much

Very cool video great 👍

I have a 6hp evinrude on my inflatable boat, it goes about 18 mph. it`s fantastic... I love it. Thanks for your helpfull review :) Big like!

Very nice !

hi Eric ! im new to you vlogs and you soo cool . keep it up mate . Rob from Australia . cheers.

NIce, pretty quick

I have a Tohatsu 6hp 4-stroke on my Alumacraft 1436-LT Jon boat. With two large adults, 3 gallon external fuel tank, cooler and other gear it pushes my boat 12mph on calm water with no wind or current to deal with. Good little outboards. And it sips fuel.

Thankyou Eric.😎👍

Nice vidio man 👍

AwesoMe just picked a 2014 one up can’t wait to take it out got it on a small Jon boat if I can get 12 I’m happy

Awesome video. I just ordered one. :)

ure the best, thank yoU!

You sold me on this engine. : )

Thanks, magic.

These are great videos on the Tohatsu 6HP. Your speeds seem about right for a boat like that. If anything, a little faster than expected. But like you said, though, if you load it down with a second person your speeds will drop considerably. Two people plus gear, I would think 10mph at the most.

Going to buy this motor for a basshound! The “yeehaa” sold me!

Here in Australia the only reason I bought the 4hp and fitted the 6hp carby is I don’t have to pay rego on the boat if the hp is no more then 4. I like you videos and keep them coming mate.👍🐟🐠🦀🦞🦐🦑🚣‍♂️🚤⛵️🛶

I have the exact same boat motor for my 14 foot Aluma craft it works great I love it

Thank you Brother , I just bought same motor , will try it on my 12' aluminium boat , hope same reasalt like your.😂

Just bought the same engine today, a 6Hp Tohatsu -2019 for my 2015 Zodiac Cadet Fastroller 360. Will see if it is strong enough to make it plain or not. ( Did not want a heavier engine due to carry it around in Campervan =) )Big Thanks for the video.

Thanks man!

Man, your videos are awesome. Have you ever thought about installing trim tabs on your boat? Some says it makes a big difference regarding speed. I was thinking about it, but storage might become a problem especially when folding the boat. What’s your insight on it?

Just what I wanted to see. I just bought a 8' RIB and my old Honda 5hp with exhaust leak is too slow. I was wondering what a Tohatsu 6hp would be like. Now I know it would be perfect. Thanks!

Finally sold our 3.5, and bought a 6hp Eric. Gotta wait till spring to try it out though.😏

Hi there Erick ! I watched your videos since the 6 hp arrived. Man, your enthusiasm is really contagious !!! I recently bought a 10 foot Achilles and I have a beatufull Johnson 15 hp. But this motor is a 2 stroke and it is not permited where I m going to use it,(southern lakes of argentina). I was thinking of buying a Suzuki 6 hp 4 stroke . Any particular reason you choose a Tohatsu ? Cheers !!!

Man bacause of you I got my first inflatable, nothing big 8.6' hoping my tohatsu does same. I have a bigger boat but I want to try fishing from this.

Great video. I just bought a 7.8 by 9 I can get 18.6 mph top speed with 14 foot Slyvan sea breeze and my 6hp Merc. (Same motor as you). Wonder what your set up could get ?

just upgraded my Merc 4hp with a 6hp carb and have the 8 pitch prop on, hoping for similar results for my SD365 and my Sea Nymph 12k this season!

Hi I bought the tohatsu 6hp efi 4 stroke 2020. I am very happy with it and I recommend it. I have bought a bigger boat and want to replace the outboard. I have chosen the tohatsu long shaft efi 4 stroke 25 bp electric start. Do you think this is another good choice. My boat is only 16 foot and will be used for fishing not speedboat rides. Thanks

Yo Erick- I'm glad I found this vid. I'm considering a 6hp to put on a budget 12' Saturn, as that trolling motor just can't overcome the rivers here in Wa State. I have a somewhat unrelated question about Saturn: The budget boat I have has a flat bottom, and I didn't bother trying to create a keel with a pool noodle, as I can't imagine it's worth the trouble. So the question is, do you consider the Saturns with inflatable keels worth getting, and do they make enough of a difference from the flat bottom boats? I'm not sure I want to go rigid, but an aluminum floor over an inflatable keel may be the improvement I'm looking for without too much investment. And the 6hp on any Saturn should get me around until I graduate to the 15+ foot size. Your opinion is much appreciated! Thanks, buddy.

I have a 4hp that comes with a 7 pitch prop and I fitted a 6 hp carby on mine and it goes same speed as yours but plans easier with the 7 then the 8 pitch proper that come with the 6hp. Change to the 7 pitch and motor with go much better and fuel tank up front helps shift weight to plane better.

Hey man thanks for this video. Do you think this motor will be decent for 14 or 15ft boat. If not which one do you recommend. Also where did you get this boat I could not find it online. Thanks 😊

Close yer mouth mate! You will be catching flies..😂🤣😂🤣 Glad you enjoyed it.

Dont forget if looking for one used, up until recently, they were also branded as Nissan outboards, but were same.

Nothing compares to the fun of a small boat and outboard, I have a much bigger boat, but still have the most fun in my little inflatable.

You might want to try a stingray classic jr on yours Erick. We did on the 3.5 and it waa way better. So I bought a new one for the 6hp too.

Hi thanks for the advice love the tohatsu 6hp just wondering does it weaken the seams on the boat to keep folding and inflating every day as I do not live near the river so have to store it in my car and can not keep it inflated all year round thank you 🙏

Looking for some wheels like that to adapt on my kayak with a 6hp. Where did you buy them?

Hey Erick, with the 7.8x7 propeller do you still need to shift your weight forward with just you in the boat to get on plane? I have to do the same thing with my 6hp Tohatsu and 10.8' Bris. Would be nice to not have to do this. Thanks!

How much fuel does the internal tank hold? What's the run time? I'd probably carry extra fuel unless it was just a short trip in sight of land.

Just for a data point; I've the same motor on a 13' aluminum jon boat, I get about the same exact top speed with just me, about 17mph. If I put my ~150# son in the front plus maybe 100# of fishing gear I get about 13mph top speed.

Nice buddy.. I need your help.. I got Suzuki 6hp and it not plain.. 🤷.. with rib 310 my new one.. 🌝.. I'm thinking I put the hydrofoil in.. but I'm not sure which one is fit and work ... can you able to help me Erick.. 🤪.. is that my motor too small or the boat so heavy.. I took it out twice and it seem very slow.. If I throttle up.. my boat just head up so high .. that all it does.. if scare to keep the throttle to max .. I feel it gonna flip over🤦🏻.. thanks Erick.. it's very frustrating ..

Hey Eric. Is the tohatsu 6 hp still doing ok? We are looking at upgrading from the 3.5.

Haha yah it's exciting watching because you get hit with his enthusiasm

That’s amazing, when I went out on Loch Lomond the most I could get to was 14mph and that was with my Orca 9.9hp. Next thing is explain to me why you had to move forward to plain? I’ve only been out one time in my Honwave t38ie3 so I am totally new at this hobby. Thanks for sharing Ray K UK 🇬🇧 YNWA.

What length of shaft on the motor? 15" or 20"? Thanks!

Erick you rock man I am so jealous. Hey, the best deal I found for a new one is like 1300 including tax out the door. Did you buy yours new? Just wondering if I am getting a good deal. Thanks again man your video is sooooooooooo helpful!!!

Hello Erick! I just bought a Bris 10.8 inflatable boat. I’m going to purchase a new outboard, considering this Tohatsu 6hp. In your experience so you think I will be happy with this hp, or may I possibly want more in the future? I definitely want to be able to get on plane with two people. Thanks sir

I'm getting a 15ft canoe it's only rated at max 5hp would there be any really difference or danger liability going with a 6hp just got that little additional power? Thanks

I saw another video of you with another guy on your inflatable. You managed to get it up on plane. I don't remember if that was this boat and motor. Was it?

That is cool, but it also depends on what type of boat you have, and how heavy it is...

I have a Tohatsu 6Hp 4-stroke outboard motor, I use the fuel hose with the female adapters, where can I get them, I am from Mexico.

I have one too but on a John boat and it moves like a snail how’d you break it down

Very nice man! Is that a Saturn boat? I hear Tohatsu is the maker for Honda and Yamaha motors, they simply put their name brand on it. Great little motor.

This guy is the same guy from the movie prison break right I mean the TV show?

Hey Erick, long story short, I want to buy the external fuel tank (3 gallon) and fuel assembly line from Amazon, but can not find the Tohatsu parts but just other ones. Do you or anyone have any good recommendations for that set up? I am not sure about connectors, etc. The seller of the motor cautioned me about using non Tohatsu parts so I am confused BIG TIME

hi, i have a SIB, 84lbs 3m inflatable with air floor. yamaha 6hp 4stroke, 60lbs,trim pin at 1st position by transom. i just can't get it to go faster than 8mph, can't expect any planing. at full throttle the stern sinks and bow raises, total weight; 2x people+cargo+engine 390lbs do i need a bigger engine? or ride with 1 passenger only. with one passenger it would weigh, 295lb. Should i buy a 9.9hp 2 stroke or get a 9.9hp 4stroke? 4 strokes are heavy, and do you think its ok to put a 15hp 2stroke on it? the boat is rated for 10hp outboard and overall carrying weight of 1100lbs. thanks for your time.

Hey Erick, what grade gas do you run in this engine?

This seems fast I today bought Mariner 6hp and went to try in the River Thames but the speed was much below yours I reached 14 kmh. Maybe I'll have to bring it to a repair shop to look at it

Eric what is the name of the GPS app you are using?

Where did you get it? Can you share the link please.

That's pretty good for 6 horses

What app did you use to check the speed ??

Hi i have a question. Can You tell me the minimum speed on lowest rotation ?? I'm looking for motor to trolling where best speed is 2/3 km per hour. IT is possibile to swim with this speed or this engine Has bigger minimum speed ?

good video. is the motor reliable

How many feet long is your boat?

Do you know what speed it roughly goes with two people in your boat?

On honwave t32? Top speed? With 2 person

Which model is that?? Mfs6?? Very fast!!

17 is solid

Have you tried it on your kaboat?

How far can you go on 1 gallon? Would like to know fuel mileage.

Is that a sd365 saturn boat?

What is 7.8x7? I mean, my Yamaha 6HP has a 7 1/4 x 8 1/4 propeller. I think it's also correct saying 7.25 x 8.25 once 1/4 its the same of 0.25. But 0.8 its strange..... :-/

How much was the motor?? I just bought one on Ebay and its 30 dollars and it seems kinda unreal

Is that a 4 stroke or 2 stroke?

How big was the boat on the video?

How is the motor holding up?

Nice video........but Every video I saw on KZfaq about the Tohatsu they doing work to that motor, ( not for me )

How bigs your boat?

...with a 6 hp Merc on my Saturn 385XL, with safety gear, 3 gallons of gas and 200 lbs. of bacon on board the boat planes nicely at 17-18 kph and tops out a bit over 27 kph...

That thing is cookin bro it dont take much on a light boat...

Lake Tahoe in Florida?

nice video Erick

Lmafoo how big ur raft

4t or 2t?

Its so fast

Im surprised, I ran 17mph on cb330 with 6hp tohatsu with less weight than yours and cb330 is much lighter boat

😂😂😂😂😂

I have a 2.8m SIB. I am looking at getting a 6HP 4 stroke. How big is your inflatable....Ooh errrr.

Inflatable boats, also known as rubber boats, many friends now think that inflatable boats are rubber boats and rubber boats are inflatable boats. In fact, there are still some differences. Why? Because many inflatable boats are not necessarily made of rubber, some military emergency rescue boats are made of a lot of high-tech composite materials. It's not rubber, so it can't be called a rubber boat. When we buy an inflatable boat, we often see the title of an inflatable boat and a rubber boat in the same title. Why do we write the title on the same item and what is the difference between the inflatable boat and the rubber boat? From what we generally know, there is no difference between the two. They all can be used the outboard motor of Sea Dog The inflatable boat is also a small inflatable boat, and the rubber boat is also a small inflatable boat. There are so many inflatable boats in the market that we have so many names, such as inflatable fishing boats, inflatable rubber boats, inflatable boats, inflatable boats, rafts, submachine boats, boat boats, canoeing, banana boats and so on. All in all, these are one species, that is, inflatable boats. Here are five basic differences between inflatable boats and rubber boats.
