So I ran the boat yesterday with the new Tohatsu 140 and I'm impressed in every way. The new engine is quiet (night and day compared to the HPDI which I thought was pretty quiet for a 2 stroke) and powerful and is a clear upgrade from the Yamaha HPDI 150 2 stroke in every way. I broke it in...

Love it... my daughter is Jenna Lynn (first and middle names)... which is the name of my Grady.

As a quick check-in... I am scheduled to demo my (repowered) boat with the dealer on Friday (4/14). This is with a Tohatsu 140. I'll provide an update once I've run it (although I'm not sure whether I'll really be able to tell much for a little while depending on the break-in instructions). I...

I just replaced the motor on my 2001 because of bad compression in a cylinder (after being told that it wasn't worth repairing the 20+ year old engine). My engine was a 150 HPDI. Checking the compression and assuring that it's in solid shape with reasonable hours would be a good place to start...

One other suggestion is you may want to run this by GW with the year of your boat, etc. They sure convinced me and the rep. was adamant that losing that weight would be the right call (like the dealer she insisted that I wouldn't notice the loss of 10HP with that kind of weight loss... nearly...

Yes understood. I'll post an update as soon as I get the boat back from the dealer and in the water (still a little bit early in New England unfortunately). My dealer reviewed the weight and specs of my 192 and compared it to others he installed (with the 140) and assured me I'll be more than...

I have a 2001 192 and I'm repowering with a 140 Tohatsu (replacing the original Yamaha 150 HPDI). I was considering a 150 Honda that was the same weight as the current 2 stroke Yami... but a Grady rep. recommended that I go as light as possible as the scuppers in our older 192's are right at...

I'm swapping out my current 2001 HPDI 150 because of bad compression in one cylinder. Before that the motor ran great but it's definitely louder, smokier, and gets worse mpg than a 4 stroke. My current motor has just under 400 hours and I'm looking forward to swapping into a 4 stroke. I also...

By the way, the weight of the Tohatsu 140 is 392 lbs. (similarly to the Suzuki 140 which is approximately 20 lbs heavier). The current Yami HPDI Yamaha 2 stroke is 475# and the Honda 150 is 478# according to the figures I obtained. After speaking with Grady I was convinced that the lighter...

I''m in the middle of re-powering my 2001 192 and I'm going with a Tohatsu 140. I was considering the Honda 150 or the Yamaha 150 (4 stroke to replace the current 2 stroke HPDI) but the Tohatsu is almost 100lbs lighter and Grady customer service urged me to go with a lighter motor because (as...

On a smaller scale than a lot of you with the bigger boats on this forum... this is exactly why I decided to repower my (2001)192 this winter instead of replacing my 22 year old boat. Just couldn't justify paying nearly $100K for the same boat or something a little bit bigger and I love the...

Repowering my 2001 192 from its original 2 stroke 150 to a Tohatsu 140 4 stroke. The motor just arrived at the shop so I should be good to go for the Spring. Other than that just replacing the transducer, bottom paint, etc. Can't wait to see how the re-power turns out.

Appreciate it. Looking forward to getting out in the spring. I'm a little concerned going down in HP from the 150 to a 140 but the 140 is approximately 80 lbs. lighter than the current 150 so I figure I'll make up the loss of HP with that much less weight. Good luck with the livewell. I...

I have a 2001 192 Tournament. Love the boat. I have seen a live well with a seat cushion behind the captain's seat on the boat but I don't have it on mine. Not sure if or where something like that can be purchased but it seems like a good idea. Glad to hear you like the Tohatsu. I'm...

Try to get out on a test run with the 22/23 if you can. I take my 192 everywhere/anywhere and always feel solid with it. It's all the boat I need and then some and I never doubt its seaworthiness even in rough waters. But the 225 is a whole different experience... you'll see it very quickly in...

I love my 192 and use it all over Nantucket Sound (frequently run to MV, Hyannis, etc.). Have always found it to be very solid and fairly dry (other than the bow area getting wet while running in chop or people in the stern seats sometimes getting a bath while on plane in a moderate chop)...

I also use the Magma (round grill) mounted in the rear rod-holder on my 192. I position it over the water as much as possible when I use it on the boat and have never had an issue with grease. The last few years I've found it just as easy to bring the grill up on the sand and dig a hole to...

The Suzuki 140 weighs just 410 pounds (just 18 pounds heavier than the Tohatsu) and I believe that their engine has a good reputation... so that's somewhat encouraging.

It's a great question Dennis! It's 10 HP lower so that's got to be worth a few pounds. And their 140 is a relatively new engine (only a few years old at most from what I see) so presumably there's some weight they were able to take off with the newer design. But 85 pounds is a lot of weight...

Not exactly sure (or sure if what she told me was absolutely correct in terms of when they moved the gas tank forward... she stated 2002). My OEM engine is a 150 2 stroke HPDI that weighs 475 lbs. The specs allow up to a 200 for that model year... but I'd imagine that the scuppers would be...
