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.

[@michaelvillapana5705]

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

[@duch1111]

It would be great if you had all brands to compare

A 250 HP Honder.

[@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

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]

The oem brands need to start rebuilding there old 4 stroke products from the guys that got them in the early 00's

[@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.
