I have over 2400 hours of commercial river rafting in Grand Canyon using a variety of engines. Honda makes the toughest most reliable engine out there. Like any machine they have their faults but in general the motorized whitewater boatman's preferred engine.
keith rice My honda 5hp will do around 7 kts max. From first hand experience I’ll tell you that it is a lot happier down low or at mid throttle. It doesn’t like to go full throttle but it’ll do it no problem. There isn’t much of a speed difference in my boat between mid throttle and full throttle, just noise.
I love hondas generally, but this particular engine vibrates too much, my 30 year old 2 stroke does vibrate like 1/10 of that earthquake Honda gives you. The price should give different story but it won't! King has no clothes in this case.
