Honda 250
 

Anyone own one or know anybody that is running one on there boat?
My buddy is looking into maybe putting one on his 25ft SeaChaser!

Have a friend with a 150 and had zero problems for a few years now. I was impressed by it. No dealings with a bigger one tbough

Ive heard nothing but good things about em. Not sure if there is a warranty service center around here, which is probably why you dont see too many

Have a buddy who had one on his hankos he said he loved it. They beat the hell out of it and zero issues. He's having one put on his new hankos being built now.

I have a 200 and have had zero problems. There is a service center in Beaumont and Lafayette. I would recommend heritage marine in Beaumont.

Just wondering why these engines are so cheap! Brand new 250 will run u about $11,000! Why aren't people running more of these motors at this price??

I know nothing for certain but ...

I heard it was a marketing campaign they are trying because they want to gain a bigger market share and they want to get rid of being know as the "expensive" motors out there so they are trying to have attractive price points on all of their motors.

even though they always had a good rep for reliability, they have earned a bad rep price wise so most people chose other brands in the past and there weren't as many dealerships around because of slow sales since they used to be like the cadillac of outboards price wise.

I would keep looking for any reports of "issues" with their motors but in my book I would jump all over that deal

I'll tell you why. Because they cost a helluva lot more than $11,000. Dealer invoice on a 2014 Honda 250 runs at over $19000 depending on the model. So if you can get a new 250 for $11,000 then buy a bunch and I will buy one and help you sell the rest. :rotfl:

They are a scam. This company is from INDONESIA. There was a thread about this on THT.

Oh ok thanks bro

Hey no problem. Just don't want to see a fellow boater get scammed! You know the old saying about sounding too good to be true....:)

All I know is they are a hell of a motor.
There is a reason you see a lot comercial oilfield boats in the marsh and spillway with a pair on the back.

coast guard runs em too I think

Wonder if the Tohatsu badged ones are gonna be any cheaper??

Dave,Iberia outboards in the berry is carrying them now,Im sure they would be able to work on them also.

Yep they also run them

it is my understanding its only the portables that are rebadged tohatsu

Thanks Jody! He's been on the phone a few times with these guys today!

The new big horsepower tohatsus are honda engines. 250 honda and the new 250 tohatsu are the same engine....
