Alright guys,
I think I am ready to look into a new outboard. (YES, this means I have decided not to sell my 1982 C-25 )
I am looking at the outboards from Online Outboards. Does anyone have any thoughts on the Tohatsu versus the Nissans. I have been told by some to buy a Honda but the price from OnlineOutboards is hard to look over. The 9.9 Honda is a little over 3k and the ones from OO are around 1900 (4 stroke, electric start, long shaft) that is a big savings in my book, especially since you do not have to pay shipping or taxes and it comes witha tank and fuel line.
I am definatley going to buy one from them but I was trying to see if one might be a better motor than the other, or if there really is no difference.

Puravida,
Zach

OK. nevermind I think I just answered my own question. Tohatsu makes both brands. Supposedly there are absolutely no differecnes between the two except for decal on the cowling.

Make sure you buy the extra long shaft, not the long shaft. You don't want to pizzle on your shizzle.

You're timing is great, the association has established a discount program with Online Outboards.

Yes, I saw that. I thought that since I was registered here that I was amember but I do not think that is the case. I found and filled out a form in the members section and will be sending a check out today, but I do not think I can access the members area to find out what the discount is until my money has been received. I would love to know whatit is since I am trying to pull the funds together now.

Puravida,
Zach

Frank-
could you elaborate on what "pizzle on your shizzle" means, I have not brushed up on my Snoop Dog terminology lately.
I actually thought a 20" shaft may work, but are you saying that only a 25" will work?
Puravida,
Zach

The Catalina 25 benefits tremendously from an XLS. Some here get by with LS but XLS is better.

Thanks Frank-
I appreciate the input. I just realized the joining thing today and feel bad for using this site for info for so long without being a paying member. The check is in the mail.

I second the XLS motion--unless you're on a small lake. My boat came with a 20" (Long) Honda that would lift its cooling intake out of the water if I was alone on the foredeck while it was running, so even in a quiet marina (not to mention a busy Long Island Sound) it was a liability that I quickly eliminated. And yes, Tohatsu makes the Nissans (and the smaller Mercuries).
