all to do with were your exhausts are
oh, and you cant beat the sound of a v8 on straight pipes

did you listen to the victory boat rev

Honda racers, we need you to vote in the poll cos the v24 is running away with it

From up ere those V24 thingys seem quite popular.

Awesome looking as well

God

you can't compare a Honda outboard with a V-24, i've worked on both in and out the water, i'll always remember running up V-8 jaguar racing in a small tent and just feeling the revs beat around let alone the ears when it revs.

only time the hondas come close is with the gearcase dropped and a hose pipe on the intake.

an you missed out ski racing
sorry, but its and intresting sport to watch
and damn tasty boats
specially the inboard f1z

The hondas with a hose pipe in them do sound quite good

you was saying you want v24 to win the poll, but if you experience a honda then you will be wanting the honda to win the poll

[freedom]

but gaz hasnt experienced a v24 either just watched um
so thier both on a level playing feild in my eyes

[225]

I've been in a honda and watched Honda's but only watched v24's

[gazza]

225
My only experience of hondas is seized bolts as they used to use carbon steel bolts which would seize all over the place on their units, have they progressed yet.
Sorry they just dont exite me after working on them for others, i heard the 225 hondas breaking saddles is there any truth in this?
Not having a go just my experiences mate.

Ive gone for Yams and mercs for my 5 boats I have at the moment.
Now a V24 you would have a smile from ear to ear as the seem to go like they sound from what i've seen of them.

You missed K class of the poll.

they're way better than class 1

[225]

your welcome to your opinion, what i've learnt is that the transom bolts on the 225 honda's could be a bit stronger (not sure about the 150's).
