[QUOTE="thill, post: 462513, member: 4972"] I found it interesting about the poll, too. Funny, but hadn't even considered Honda. Around here, Hondas are thought of as very smooth and reliable engines that will run a million hours, but are heavy and a bit sluggish. So you see a lot of them on crabber's boats, where they move from one pot to another slow and steady, but you don't see too many of them on fisherman's boats who run and gun. That being the case, a good friend of mine put a new Honda 250 on the back of his boat, and that is a very nice engine. Being a "run and gun" fisherman, he blew up 6 Honda 225's in a row, all under warranty, and they finally agreed to go up to the new 250, and that engine has been solid for a couple of years now. So it seems Honda performance on the high end is finally reaching the levels of some of the others. So I'll keep my eye out for Honda. Any idea of what their 40 HP weighs? [/QUOTE]
