I've got a 3.5 four stroke Tohatsu for a kicker motor, been using it for about 4 years and no problems. I wouldn't heaitate to buy another one. Good luck.
I purchased a Tohatsu 4-stroke 20 hp from the Cookeville, TN plant last year. They had the best sale price I could find at the time along with free shipping. I have been very happy with the motor.

RUST NEVER SLEEPS
I have been told the same thing. I have a 2000 model 25 Hp Merc and wondered if it was made by Tohatsu. Do you know where the cutoff is between a Tohatsu made Merc vs a "real" Merc?
Whoever made mine did a good job. It has been running like a champ since 2000. Pushes a 16.5 Bass Tracker at 23 MPH which is pretty good considering the weight of the boat.

Pulled the trigger this morning on an 8hp for my jon boat. Guess I'm getting old seems like a lot of bucks for a small motor but what the heck....
