GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I'm looking to buy a 9hp outboard, a local fellow has a 1996 Tohatsu that looks almost brand new. He's askig $1,000... What do you think, is it worth it?and how does this motor compare to its competitors?
That's high for a 9.8. Somewhere in the 7 to 8 range would be more realistic. Don't worry about parts or service availability as Tohatsu is much more common than say Suzuki or Honda.
