I have a 1548 southfork running a 2023 30 Toha4 with p/t and steering, runs 32.7 mph with a 3 blade 14 pitch aluminum prop. Its a side steering console. I love the set up. Its all i need in South Louisiana to inland fish trout and redfish. Great motor!
Nice,,, yea, I knew a 3 blade would be 2 to 3 mph faster but The dealer told me the 4 blade would be better for hauling heavier loads... so when I'm hunting and have 3 guys and gear in boat I wanted the power.... at least thats what I was told... I'm no prop expert. I do prefer tiller handle on this boat....
@@smokehousehammock4481 I’m looking for a boat just like yours. If you don’t mind me asking, where or what dealer did you buy it from. I live in south Arkansas. Thanks
@@smokehousehammock4481 It helps a lot thanks. Did each mod on your boat cost you extra or how does that work? What comes standard with the boat? Thanks
@@linemang4337 yes everything cost extra... I had to tell them where to put tolling motor mount,,, add floor and sides, add 3 base plates for seats, add storage box one side, live well box other side, and rear floatation pods in back... 40" deck was standard, but I wanted storage opening under deck. and last I wanted a extended plate to mount transducer so I didn't have to drill through boat. I bought boat the seats, lights, tie downs in back of boat (didn't know it didn't come with it) rod holders , carpet help keep heat down. battery and budge pump ,,, oh and tie outs to tie to dock.
Just want to ask if to this tohatsu model there is an option to do manual tilt/trim? I am thinking If the power tilt/trim will malfunction or out of the battery.
I asked the boat dealer same question,,, he said I need to take a jumpstart brick,, size of a brick incase I need extra battery power to adjust trim ... so I bought the noco boost 1000A... I have jump started a car with it... it works...
@ I ordered model MFS30D ES with multifunction tiller handle i think this with a power tilt and trim. I change the order revised it to model MFS30D ETS. Your tohatsu which model exactly?
@@justinstewart3248 with a 4 prop (power prop) it will do 30mph.. a 3 blade will be faster... but when Im hunting I'll have 3 guys in boat with gear... I know 3 guys in boat will do 27mph... full of gear I don't know yet...
@@smokehousehammock4481 thank you for your help and your answers! I’m just worried about the weight of this motor on my transom. It’s about 45-50 pounds more than my old 2 cyl 2 stroke. Ugh.
I just bought the motor a few weeks ago waiting for the tiller handle to come in for it. Gunna be putting it on a 1648 tracker grizzly. Thanks for the response! I appreciate it!

Nice boat. I live in Arkansas also. I’m looking for a boat just like yours. If you don’t mind me asking, where can I buy a boat like this?
Heck of a nice boat, very well done.
Thanks,, love this boat and motor
Thanks for the video . I was very interested in the 30 hp tohatsu and got to see it in action.
your welcome,,, I really like this motor... the dealer tried to get me to go with a 20hp... so glad I went with 30.

Good review. Nice set up. Enjoy.
Thanks
I looked at the same boat at my local dealer but decided to go with an Xpress DBX15 with a 40hp susuki!
that should be a good setup...
hi i want same motor with multi function handle. Please, what is the size of the handle in length from the attachment to the mirror. Thank you
Great review 👏
thanks

Your tohatsu which model exactly?
@@LordPepeVicedo my model is MFS30C
What pitch are you running with your 4 blade prop.
10x13... 16 21 was on prop also
Great review thanks
thanks so much...
Did you order this from factory or buy it from a dealer??
From a Dealer... they were out of HotSprings Ar. Harbour Marine,,, during covid they moved to Malvern and I think they are no longer in business.
What size outboard is it rated for? And what is the weight capacity?
50hp with steering, 40hp tiller. 3 persons or 441lbs. Ive had 3 200lb guys/gear and 1 deer in boat and it did great...
Is this the new, lighter MFS30D ??
I've got the MFS30C
@@smokehousehammock4481 is it pretty powerful for you? What kind of speed and hole shot on it with weight in the boat?

@@justinstewart3248 25 and 30 are heavy... I think the Yamaha 25hp is must lighter because I think it has a 2 cyclers vs 3.
How much does that outboard weigh?
looking at specs online, it states 157lbs 20" shaft...
What model is your Tohatsu?
its a MFS30C. like this motor alot...
