A buddy just sent me a post from Tohatsu Panama. They are selling new two stroke 40 hp tiller commercial models for $3,200! I can’t even get a 25 hp in the states for that price.
Kinda makes me want to take a flight down and ship a few home.

Yeah but the big question is warranty on those not to mention what do you really save when you add in a plane ticket and shipping (which isn't going to be cheap).

Good employment opportunity for those heading towards the border. Independent shippers.

What does a 40 hp cost new in the states? I understand this may be a no thrills model but that is what many small skiffs need.

I have an unused 40hp 2 stroke tiller tohatsu for sale if you are interested

Instead of bales of weed strapped to their back they have a outboard. Close to the same weight. We can getter better weed in the US but can't get a 2 stroke!. Seems like a untapped underground business lol.

Most motor manufacturers very carefully track motors sold in country and will not warranty motors not sold here... They’ll be glad to service or repair them, but warranties- that’s another deal entirely...

for close to half price I think I could cover the warranty issues.

 

[firecat1981]

Since it's a serialized motor and needs to be shipped, isn't there a heavy import tax?

 

[Panamakid]

150 pounds I think you could just put it on the plane

Here are some more. I’m sure there is some wiggle room if more than one was purchased.

About $6,000. MSRP is over $7,000 for the short shaft TLDI.

For half price I will forget about the warranty.

Find out the cost of a 20' shipping container.

Then you can figure out how many can fit inside.

Price to ship container does not vary for empty or full.

Thank the EPA and those that love it.

2 strokes don’t need warranties. Be a man an work on your own shit!

Yamaha two-strokes are still alive and well too! https://global.yamaha-motor.com/business/outboards/products/2st/

Including the SICK enduro range.

Including the SICK enduro range.

Which are also sold in Panama and would fit in a container just as easy as a hatsu.
