Lmao...u for real??? Honda has to be one of the Slowest and weakest motors out!!!!
How many Honda do you see on the water

Well, I see them on all the coast guard boats.

meaning they last quiet a while.. I see it as the Gov doesn't want to wast emoney on repairs

That proves nothing...anything paid for by Gov just means who gave a kick back or better price!

That's how Gov works....they get bids from at least 5 company's and usually take middle price..

My wife worked for the Police Jury for 8 years and they are price whores....what can we get the most of for the money!!!

I rather judge a motor by who depend on it to make them a living everyday!!!!! Like Guides or Oil field work Boats...

It goes by bid. Many of the coast guard boats I have worked on had Honda. Now ask the wildlife and fisheries how much they like their verado boats. Nothing but electrical headaches.

sent from my iPhone killing Droid

honda makes good motors on everything else why wouldn't there boat motor be worth a crap. Anyone have a honda?

I have only been in one boat with a Honda...it was a 24ft Trition...I'm sure they make a good motor but it was slow slow slow....wide open 45mph....

This was a buddy of mine. Blew his powerhead.

heard they were pretty slow.

I rode in that same boat you are speaking of, Hackberry Charters now owns it. That is a VERY slow boat. Cruise at like 32 max 44ish.

You know what I don't get? Honda bikes turn like 14k rpm's........they run super smooth and strong. Why not put that inline 4 into a boat motor!!???? Dependable 4stroke power!

different loads, cooling method, the high rev redline is within the bike engines short term operating parameters

the outboard is designed to run at 6k all it's life

I use to kill Honda 1000rr with my yamaha r1. Not a Honda fan.

Well, if it can turn 14, it should have no prob running 6 all its life.....water cooled is water cooled

I've been on a River Monster tv marathon tear and it looks like wherever in the world that guy goes they are running Yamma Hamma's...

I thought the biggest size Honda made was a 225......Did they recently start making the 250??

Its due to come out at the end of the year. I had a 24' Triton with a 225 Honda. Top speed was only 52mph but it was quiet, fuel efficient and reliable. Also I never found any trace of gas in the oil. I'm still a year out from my next boat but I can not wait to see the on water test.

that was Fishing Tom's boat
