Nissan Tohatsu 9.8 outboard motor, 10 ft inflatable boat

[pacifictaca]

cool, whats the name of the launch ramp area, or exit form fwy?

[seanelm]

I launch the boat from the launch ramp usually, I park near the edge of the water and pull the boat out (of the truck) into the water. I have also parked 50 ft or so from the water in a parking lot and walked the boat to the beach with a friend. There is a part of Mission Bay that is open speed area.

[pacifictaca]

where do you go and launch your boat? is it free and can you go fast on the inside of the bay?

[pacifictaca]

I got a 07 9.8 tohatsu how fast do you think ill go on a 12 6" inflatable?

[MrOceanfisher]

do you know how fast a 2 stroke nissan 9.8 would go on the same boat?? i have a 10 foot zodiac..the motor is like a 1999

[seanelm]

@MrOceanfisher this will go faster than the one in the video I think cause the outboard weighs less, has better acceleration, (if it runs good) and Zodiac makes a better inflatable boat than most.

Hello to all :) I have a similar question about the boat and the engine of 10hp. I have inflatable boat with inflatable floor and keel. It is JoyCraft 3.3 metre max. weight with max 4 persons 470 kilgrams + the engine. the max power of the engine they give it of this boat 8hp. but I've read that 10hp + two people it is slow for the sea. What do You think could I a set it a 15hp for this boat ( the maximum is 8hp ) and would have any problems with 15hp.some kind of vibration, unstability etc..

[funkyskiller]

could you put a 9.8hp out board on a 9.4 inflatable boat with air-bottom?

[stjernefodt]

How do you transport and lay down your motor when you remove it from your dinghy?

[fanfang11]

yeah, i want to know that too. 9.8hp nissan is about 80lbs, i just have no idea how to lift and install it.

[seanelm]

@stjernefodt I take the outboard off the boat in the shallow water, with the shaft in the lowered position, then I walk it over to the tailgate of my Toyota Tundra and lay it on some foam pads or cushions. Then I slide the outboard to the top of the bed and tie it down. The boat can be slid right up onto the bed. I strap it down as well. I do this process all by myself.

How fast would you say a 9.8hp tohatsu would push a 3.3m bombard imflatable?

[seanelm]

how much does the boat weigh? It is only about a ft longer than the one in this video. It will go about 15 to 20 MPH in calm water with one passenger. More ppl in it severely slow it down. I find that it is kinda slow with two ppl in it. Thats why I got the Mercury 25 outboard also.

[seanelm]

@jd175turb

Yes you can do that. This boat is a air deck 9.7 foot. very similar, the lighter boat is ok but I wish I had a hard floor.

[KyleNobes]

Is that a long or short shaft motor? I just got a 10 footer for xmas, and i' m on the market for a motor now. thanks!

[seanelm]

Hi there it is a short shaft. the long one would be too long for this application. Good luck finding a good outboard. post some vids when you have it set up.

[KyleNobes]

thanks a lot! do you happen to know the exact shaft length?

[raplamaster03]

nice, i got a 2008 3.5hp nissan for a kicker on my 14ft v hull jonboat with a 15hp suzuki

[macbook47]

how fast this goes

[seanelm]

I havent had an accurate speed test. I am guessing it goes 18 or 20 mph

[jordyboy0129]

@seanelm well my 8hp mariner 2stroke (twostrokes are faster) on a 3.6 meter inflaterble with the high presure floor can get up to 34mph on my satnav while towing two wakeborders and two people in the boat

[mariner10rpr]

i ve got a simular set up 11 foot with 9.9 mariner really fast

[raplamaster03]

nice

[mishmosh2000]

you sir are hauling serious arse!

[whiffles]

Looks like fun, just as fast as the Zodiac now
