Repower | Honda 250HP Drive by Wire on Cruise Craft 685 Outsider

Dave O'Neal repowered a pre-owned stock boat (Cruise Craft 685 Outsider) with a new, drive-by-wire, Honda 250HP outboard. It now gets 50% further from the same tank of fuel as it did with its old EFI 2-stroke, 225HP power plant.

I was just thinking I wonder why Steve never does a boat review with a Honda on the back then this pops up. Seajay with a Honda on the back would be a dream combo.

It would be great if you had all brands to compare

[@michaelvillapana5705]

for twin 250hp engine, is there any problem if they have the same rotation?

[@RvDi-ll5jo]

permission to ask, what causes the Honda engine to become weak as soon as there is a problematic device so that it no longer draws power as usual

[@SK-ps1mo]

Hell yeah Honda so reliable well priced got a 30hp $5890 on a 420 busta

[@brucewinterburn92]

You could never own the motor long enough to recoup in fuel what the motor costs. Unnecessary replacement just exerts industrial pollution on the planet for no good reason.

Back to rowboats!
