My son-in-law is after a new engine for his 13ft Dell Quay Eurosport.
He's considering a new Honda 50hp from PMS, anyone got any experience of Honda outboards?
Bian,
I dont think you can go wrong with Honda....I've been a convert to Honda for about 10 years.....I use a 225 hp, 10 hp and a 6 hp.......never had an issue with there 5 year gaurantee they have always come up trumps....no matter what agent you use...but a very reliable engine.......a lot of commercial boys get 5 to 6000 hrs out of their engines.....

I had that boat - just remember the marking that says max power is "50hp" is for the old way of measuring power (at the fly wheel) - now I believe that it is measured at the prop. So a modern 50hp is too big and could invalidate any insurance and RCD regs.
I think a modern 40hp falls within the 50hp max rating of the old Dory Eurosports. (Had a new Johnson 40 2 stroke on mine 5 years ago and it was mentally fast!)
HTH

Thanks Guys.
I'll pass this on to him.

That sounds good, a couple of others have said they consider the Honda to be bomb proof.

Interesting about the max hp, there's no plate or any other info on the hull stating the max hp.
I had a 70Hp Suzuki on mine...............

Ridiculously fast when on the plane but a pig to keep below 10 Knotts in the harbour with such a huge lump on the back! and I am not referring to me or the Mrs!
I had to stand forward of the helm position to get the bow down - even a set of Doel fins didn't help that much.
Still a fun boat to have - loved every minute.

At the moment he's got a 1991 Evinrude 50hp VRO and it's pretty quick.
But due to the age of the engine and fuel pump problems he's decided to get a new one and have peace of mind.

Have to say Neal that this made me chuckle more than a bit....
You are an absolute GEM mate

Neal - did you not have the 15ft with the not so "super square" bow?
Definately the Eurosport 13

No wounder you've lost some hair!!!
