Honda BF100 outboard boat motor weight and reliability?
My little boat can't get on plan with two people in it, so I posted an add on CL about trading my little Yamaha 4hp for a larger motor plus some extra money.
So someone inquired about trading motors, I read reviews on it and many say its a great motor, so I'm excited to go and check it out. But before I do, I must know if its not too heavy for the rear end of the boat. I looked and looked but only found someone say they are around 80 pounds, which isn't too heavy, its heavy, but it will be more than fine. Its a short shaft version of the motor also.
I hope I can find an answer here, thanks!
Added (1). BF100 10hp motor.
The lightest model (short shaft manual start) is 42 kg, the heaviest ( long shaft electric start) is 50 kg.
- Where can I buy a 12' open aluminium boat cover and or 9.9 Honda 4 stroke motor cover? I have been looking all over for these two items but have yet to find a set of decent covers. I can find covers for boats but not for a 12' open boat with no window shield. I'm preferably looking for an outboard cover that fits over the whole motor not just the hood.
- Can a 2016 boat exist in 2015? I'm starting to wonder because I know some 2016 cars (like the Nissan Maxima, Honda Pilot, and Acura RDX) are already released, but I'm not too sure about boats and yachts. So, is it possible for a 2016 boat or yacht to exist in 2015 (aka right now)? a) yes b) no When you answer, can you give me an explanation?
- Is a Honda Crf 450R good for my weight and height? I recently been getting into dirt bikes and I was wondering if a Crf450R is a good size for me. I'm 5'7 and weigh 169.
