[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Tohatsu...second try.

[Michael Meltzer]

How do you think it would do on a inland lake? And could you tell me how the shifter works (i.e the location of the control). 6hp is
a little low for the area. 8hp to 9.9 seem more like the standard around here with allot of extra credit for the big slow turning
props and an extra long shaft to handle waves. BTW are you using a "standard" sliding GB lift? I have a idea, and I be the first to
admit it can be a bad one(meaning it going to cost you :-). Maybe you can sell your current one to a lake sailor (seem allot are
looking on the list) and get a new(recycled ;-) motor that more your size. in fact I think Stan was even will to make a deal(s) and
Elton is making weekly runs thought the area. Just thinking out loud.
