Tough motors, very well made. Any time you go to the third world, where people take tiny little boats miles out to sea, you see Tohatsu. (Nissan).
But like any engine, it has to be kept slippery, and cool.

PRO'S : cheap, reliable, cheap/simple to service, easy to get parts(if not to old).
CON'S : unrefined, poor resale from new, uneconomical, loud, smokey
What year is it?

15 yrs ago, a retired know it all prick who lived near boat ramp and said I would never catch anything on fresh piper had a Tohatsu. He went out more than most and had no problems with it over many years. At prize giving he asked what bait I used to catch the biggest snapper. He was not amused when I told him.

A 115 of that age could be an "old fashioned" smelly, smokey two stroke or a direct injection TLDI. The TLDI used similar technology to the Mercury Optimax. I would be wary of a TLDI of those hours and that age, whereas a straight two stroke should be fine provided it has been well maintained as is relatively corrosion free.
