Hi, I'm with a issue in my mind... 😅 If I buy a Tohatsu 9.8hp 2 stroke from 1998 for 300€ or buy a Hangkai new in aliexpress with free return for 450€... It's very tempting to buy a Hangkai for that price, butnif the experience it's like yours... Better an old and good Tohatsu than a new Hangkai. What did you think about it? If the Hangkai cames in good condition it's worthy or better the old but inmortal Tohatsu 8.9hp?
To be honest I can’t really answer that as I have never owned a Tohatsu. I don’t know if I ended up being lucky that my seller was responsive or if they are all just as good. I think if I had to weigh up those options. I would go for the new one as it is possible to return it in the event of an issue.
@@ASailingEvolution thanks for your fast feedback. I will see how are the tohatsu and then make a decision. Hope that the tohatsu it's in good health and that I can have a good motor for that price. If not, I will give it a try on the Hangkai. The good thing it's that I also buy 1 year ago for a lpw price a suzuki dt4 from the same person, the mechanic of my port, and it's very healthy. Let's see if I have lucky again 🤞🏻🙂
