[Rhodes22-list] Tohatsu 4s 5hp

[Chrissailorman]

I had a Tohatsu 5hp, 2 stroke single. Great motor but rattled my bones on a Rhodes 22. Seemed to resonate thru the whole hull. Have a 6 hp Mercury 4 stroke. Don't seem to notice any vibes much at all and it's a single too....maybe the difference of more power strokes on a 2 cycle?
