Parts to make a tohatsu 8 hp into 9.8 hp?

[vtx531]

Sorry for another one of these posts but I didn't see what I was looking for. Looking at getting a new 4-stroke. Would it be worth it to get a 8hp and then swap parts to get 9.8? What parts would I need? How much would the parts cost? Thanks -Chris

You would need a new carb. Since a carb costs more than the difference between an 8 and a 9.8 it would not be cost effective.

That, and anytime you make such a modification, kiss the warranty Good-bye.
