Tohatsu actually makes Mercs 25 HP and under but no Honda outboards are made by Tohatsu. It's Honda that makes Tohatsu outboards 60 HP through 250 HP.I looked at the Tohatsu and if the Yamaha deal hadn't happened thats probably what I would have done. Great reviews..and they make Mercs and Hondas under 20hp
Honda's too? That's news to me.I looked at the Tohatsu and if the Yamaha deal hadn't happened thats probably what I would have done. Great reviews..and they make Mercs and Hondas under 20hp
Haha that makes perfect sense! They actually look alike too.Tohatsu actually makes Mercs 25 HP and under but no Honda outboards are made by Tohatsu. It's Honda that makes Tohatsu outboards 60 HP through 250 HP.
What's my cut @DaveJ?If anyone buys something from Hully Gully tell Ben Dave Jack sent you..I'll get a gift card!!!
Look in person. You will see the difference. metal thickness, fit and finish etc...Everything from the plastic aprons down sure looks the same on the Tohatsu and Merc though.
Honda's too? That's news to me.
I'm not so sure about Suzi. Merc and Tohatsu are the same specs but Suzukis are wildly different. Suzuki made the smaller Evinnrudes for a while too. Exactly what years and models I am not sure of.I believe they make Merc, Mairiner, and Suzuki up to 30hp in their Japan factories
Here's what I read...fromhttps://nestawayboats.com/shop/petrol-outboards/I'm not so sure about Suzi. Merc and Tohatsu are the same specs but Suzukis are wildly different. Suzuki made the smaller Evinnrudes for a while too. Exactly what years and models I am not sure of.
Just a heads up...in my search for a new kicker, I found that Hully Gully has some non-current Yamahas that they purchased..brand new 2017s. I picked up an 8hp long shaft at a good price.
@snaapz Congratulations on your 9.9 hp Mercury and I wish that my experience there at Hully Gully would of turned out much better. I was trying to buy a 9.9 Mercury from there a couple of weeks ago,but Ben and I talked over the phone,and he would only offer me $700 for my 2007 ProKicker 4 stroke Mercury outboard motor!! Mind you though,it is running a little rough right now,and the carburetor just needs a good cleaning.But,still worth more than $700!! Apparently,there is a 2005(2 years older than mine),on Kijiji for $2,500!! I decided to keep my 9.9 Mercury for now,and repair the carburetor. Enjoy your new 9.9 Mercury outboard motor.My usual place of business wasn't too helpful so I made my first visit to Hully Gully and I have to say I'm blown away by the staff (Ben/Jeff and the rest of them); and they were really friendly with my kids and let them ring the bell, and gave them free hats.
Pick up my Merc 9.9 on Friday. Ben mentioned the liquidated motors but I went with the Merc!
Highly recommend.
