Location: Central Iowa | I'm looking at a used crestliner with a 1998 40hp 2 stroke Nissan. I don't know much about Nissans. Does anyone have any experience with Nissan outboards....good or bad? Any help is appreciated. |

Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | I have known 2 people to have them, and they both really and liked them.
I would try to find a service center for Nissan's around you so just in case something happens, you don't have to drive 800 miles to get one serviced.

I would say go for it.

Location: Cohasset, MN | I used to have a 90hp that I liked. I believe that Nissan is actually a rebadged Tohatsu. |

Location: Hayward, WI | They had 2 versions, a 2 cylinder and a 3 cylinder. The 2 was pretty rough running, but the 3 was very smooth. I would stay away if it was the 2 cylinder.

Location: Woodridge, Ill | I owned a Nissan 2 stroke 40hp and it ran like a top. I wish I had never sold it. That thing was indestructable. Anyways, I sold the boat and motor and now I own a 90hp Tohatsu TLDI 3 cylinder direct injected. it is sweeeeeet !!!! I bought it new in 2003 and I have trailered it across the country everywhere. Very dependable and very fuel efficent. No problems too. I recommend either brand as they are the same. |
