Hi Rik, How did the Flicka do in high winds with that Tohatsu 6. BTW, the Flicka is a neat boat.

It's worked very well on my Flicka. Much lighter than the 8 and 9.9 hp 4 strokes. Rik "Responsibilities. That's what gives life meaning. It's like lifting a load, then you can tolerate yourself."...

The Tohatsu 6 hp "SailPro" version comes in 20" and 25" shaft also. And I think that model comes standard with high-thrust prop designed for heavy displacement hulls (more effective at lower speeds on displacement hulls vs. a prop designed for high speed/planing hulls).
cheers, John

Hello,
I’m not sure how many Montgomery 23 owners are using this list, but I was curious what outboards you use. I’ve been using an 8 hp 2-stroke with 25” shaft, but I can’t find an 8hp 4-stroke with the 25” shaft. Obviously, no one makes a 2-stroke any more. The 9.9 4-stroke has a 25” option but just feels too big and heavy.
Thanks,
Gerry
