Author Topic:   13-Footer with Honda BF40

Tohsgib posted 11-12-2008 01:20 PM ET (US)
[For powering a Boston Whaler 13-footer the author says he ] might be interested in a 2006 Honda 40-HP to replace my near mint 1994 40hp Evinrude. [The author] would like to know if anyone has this combo. What do you think overall? How does it perform? What propeller are you running? [The author] just want to know some tidbits because it is not a cheap upgrade, and, again, my 1994 runs and looks flawless for the most part. I am just a stickler for [four-cycle outboard motors], and I am never selling this boat. With the economy as it is, [this] might be a good time to buy.

Never mind....bought a 2006 40hp Johnson/Suzuki instead.
Any feedback?

Nick, get the latest edition of Trailer Boat mag. Article on whole new revamping of the Honda 40/50 HP fourstrokes.

Just installed the Johnson/Suzuki 40hp yesterday. Looks and sounds great. Will get some performance numbers when I actually splash it.

PS...I[the author] am not a stickler for 4 cycle outboards because I[the author]have never owned one. I[the author] am a stickler for 4 stroke outboards which all 4 that I[the author] have owned have clearly stated on the outside of the cowling and on the front of the owners manual. Also in reading both the sales brochure and owner's manual(s) I[the author] can verify that the term 4 cycle has never been written in either publication.
In the future I[the author] would appreciate Jim[the site owner] to not edit my posts with fictional information about my Suzuki outboards.

Ran the engine on the muffs last night for about 40 minutes, no problems whatsoever. As soon as it warms up a tad and the wind stops howling, I will give her a test run.

Mount what you wish, if it works better than what you had before, you have made a correct move! How simple can it get???
