    Tohatsu 25hp vs 30hp? Repower

    Perfect that's what I wanted to hear I'm gonna have to go for that 30hp for better performance. I believe it doesn't come with a prop though so I'm gonna have to see what I'm buying. Any recommendations on prop size? They quoted me 5083 for MFS30CETL and 4750 for MFS25CETL
