If you can get the Tohatsu serviced locally and get parts locally and the price is right then go for it. One of my fishing partners has a 9.9 on his Grady and we've put a lot of hours trolling offshore with it. I have a Honda currently and previously used Yamaha with no complaints. I'm partial to Honda and Yamaha but that's just me.
