Tohatsu 5hp 4 Stroke Outboard "Boat Ride" Starcraft 14ft Aluminum Boat
An overview of a small 5hp Tohatsu Outboard and performance with a typical 14ft aluminum boat. Interesting because this is a very economical and viable setup for all those Horsepower limited small lakes and ponds that are good fishing. Goal was to find a boat trailer and motor to be able to fish those places for less than $1000 dollars...

Put up some pics and a video! I'm always interested in these "adventures", I don't fee l crazy when other do similar things.
That thing is loud!
Looks like the motor had drag. Try moving it up one or two notches and you'll get more speed

I think its main "drag" was this old fat guy doing the video...:) Did play around with trim and height. Actually it did also pick up a bunch of weeds...and that certainly didn't help. Not enough to block water for cooling but certainly enough to disrupt the fluid dynamics of the lower unit and prop. Might be what you picked up on.

Would like to get the larger carb for the 6hp version and let it get a few more RPM's... a video project for this year??

According to the "speedometer" app on my cell phone I was ripping along at 5mph with the 5hp and with the 20hp merc twisted out it touched on 27mph.
