I had a older 25 hp tohatsu on my jon boat and never had and problems with it for the 10 years I owned it. Always started right up and did its job, and decent on fuel.

I have a 2004 16' Mirrocraft I bought from a lady who had gotten it in a divorce settlement. It has a 40 HP Tohatsu on it. I've had the boat and motor for about 10 years now. I have a 18' Lund with a 115 Yamaha on it. I would consider the Tohatsu a better motor than the Yamaha for dependability. I've never had to do anything other than normal maintenance on the Tohatsu.
At the end of open water fishing, I run Sta-Bil in all my motors when I put them to bed for the winter. In Spring, I change the gear oil. The Tohatsu always starts right up in spring. If I needed a motor and the Tohatsu fit the bill, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Pretty sure they make the majority of outboards built today kind of like what MTD does with mowers in the US. You pay more depending what name they put on its the same motor but the sicker is different.

It's the motor to have around here in the 9.9hp. Well built, dependable, everyone wants one.
