Hello all

So, I've been offered a Honda outboard by someone giving up sailing

Hello all,

In what year did the 'quality issues' with Honwave begin, or have they always been there

The reason I ask is that the boat I'm looking at was originally sold from new in May 2016

Just wondering if this is likely to pre-date the Honwave Banana boats ?

Hello @harrison - what boat / engine combo would you go for for this sort of money, and which vendors would you suggest Sorry it wasn’t a recommendation.
