I won't have Hondas on my next boat. Will go the Yamahas. All the other Cats that I have built this size had Yammies & Mercs and we got much higher performance
Correct, we were anchored at the Mokes in 50 knots easterly and decided toi make a run for it back to Auckland. Barrier radio could not believe how fast we travelled between Mokes & Little Barrier, then Kawau. Got back to Auckland & it was calm!! Go figure
Yeh true however a merchant officer is in a much bigger boat. My Cat is only 10m & the seas in the video were 4-5 m with 55 knot plus winds. Coastal with currents so the waves are very close
50 knots - bullshit

I agree - Honda is no good for marine engines. I'm switching to Yamaha as well.

Not really rough.... If the weather was rough, you wouldn't sail at full speed.
