Ah yes, thank you for your well-considered essay, filled with all the wit and charm of a soggy biscuit. It’s always a pleasure to receive feedback from someone who’s clearly spent years mastering the art of missing the point. You’re absolutely right - how dare we discuss the boat that carries the engine, or the very real-world conditions that professionals face! Madness, I tell you. As for touch screens, yes, of course, because what we really want is more buttons, with no hybrid or forward thinking technology. Amazing how your fingers are so strong as to wear through glass panels and prematurely at that, after reviewing displays and using them both in racing and expeditions, clocking thousands of miles at sea with various brands, we have never heard or encountered a man that can "wear out" a solid glass panel. Seeming there are only a handful of 350 Hondas rigged to boats at the moment, how you have "extensively" used this engine must mean you are on the Honda payrol or a biased Dealer. Just for your knowledge, when you analyse the transcript, 40% of the video is about the boat and the application, 60% of the video is centred around the engine. Please; keep extensively driving outboards and delivering life-changing pearls of wisdom from the comfort of your keyboard, or if you wish, please empart your profesional opinions and join one of our "whiny reviewers" on camera to impart some real knowledge, you might gain more than 6 subscribers that way...Keep the swearing to yourself though. Cheers

​@@POWERBOATANDRIB Another utterly incompetent contribution from Powerboat and RIB, very professional 👌👌👌 You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

@@shingnosis 147,000 other people disagree. Good day Sir, this has been fun.

@@POWERBOATANDRIB I heard The Sun has a circulation of 1.21 million. Keep it up and maybe you can beat them.

@@shingnosis every time you reply, we get paid more for the boosted engagement, please continue :)

That depends very much on where you live. I've spoilt for choice with Honda service centres in my area.

You only need an approved mechanic. All you’re going to be doing is changing the oil.

Different load capabilities

Have you compared this V8 with similar outboards from Mercury and Yamaha? 350 hp seems competitive. comparing it to a performance Jet Ski is probably not apples to apples don't you think?

you are missing the point!!

The difference is if you used that jet ski engine to push a big boat at full speed, it wouldn't last hundreds or thousands of hours under that load. The bigger Honda (or Yamaha or Mercury etc...) will. It's not about peak output, it's about reliable output.

Torque sir look up Torque

Agreed. Head is in the same place but half height, so you squat in with visibility to the other guests. But it means you don't have that great big cabinet. By having the heads in the cabin you get a proper full double berth in the fore cabin, no sleeping at an angle. And the massive side deck to give easy access to sunbathing, fantastic. PS it's illegal to trailer in the UK without special licences, we peak at 7m but I think you'd get away with the extra few cm. Definitely my favourite trailer-ish boat.
