This is my test of a Stessle rat pack or 3.00hd with a 9.8hp Tohatsu.
The boat topped out on the gps at 42kph. The hull performed well and remained very level through the turns due to only a very slight v hull at the transom. Also with a hull of only 3m long I was expecting some sort of porpoise (when the boat bounced up and down while on the plane) but encountered no porpoise at all. The tinny felt safe and open and with nice high sides considering it's a short shaft outboard hull.
The 9.8hp Tohatsu performed as expected, fantastic! At only 25kgs it is the most powerful easily transportable outboard on the market.

I have been boating my whole life, raced boats, built boats, rebuilt so many outboards it's not funny and owned over 150 outboards and so many boats as well. I love boat hull design, propeller design and performance and if I am floating I'm happy!
