Well, I just pulled the trigger on getting the little Tohatsu 6hp from onlineoutboards.com.
The price was right at $1265 with free shipping. They are out of stock on both of their lower pitched props.
I notice they have both a standard 6" pitch prop (~$65) and they also carry a new 5.99" 'High thrust' prop (~$100). The high thrust prop has large flat blades like the Yamaha high thrust prop does.
So now I have 2 questions for the users of the Merc / Nissan / Tohatsu 6hp.... I am still wondering about the zink, and would like to hear from anyone who may know if the new 'high thrust' prop is worth the extra $135?
Thanks,
