I'm running a BF250 on my 2019 BassCat Puma FTD. Love it, super quiet, sips gas, holeshot is smoking. I give up a few MPH top end but think thats due to the 2:1 lower gear ratio. I'll trade the speed for the durability.

I tried to order my boat with a Honda but it wasn’t an option. No Honda/Phoenix dealer within 100’s of miles. If my SHO ever fails I’ll be getting the Honda. There are some Honda bass boats out there just not many!
2014 Phoenix 721XP, 250 SHO, Bobs Action Jack, Dual Blades, 112 Ultrex, 2019 Lariat FX4 F150 Supercrew 4x4
quite a few actually. Just not much to talk about, they just work!!
I run a 150 not a 250. Totally happy. No more a speed demon but I know I'll get back to the launch when I'm done.
After I got mine a few years ago I have seen a few more bass boat popping up in my area with them.
1995 Javelin 400TE w/ 2015 Honda 225
2001 War Eagle 648 w/ 2001 Honda 50 jet
My next boat will have a Honda or if I decide to re-power again it’ll have a Honda. I use to do all the maintenance on them when I was in the Coast Guard and I’ve seen some crazy engine hours and they flat out last.
What Prop do you run?
I love mine. Dependable. fuel economy. Speedy...best of both (or all 3) worlds

I have been on Lake Fork for a week. Only bass boats I have seen with a Honda is mine and MLF pro Jessie Wiggins. I think Paul Elias runs a Honda but have not seen him. In three years I have only seen maybe four Hondas on bass boats here in Texas.
Honda is very common down on the coast in salt water.
Thinking about changing from a Fury 3 blade 24 pitch to a Fury 4 blade 23 pitch. My hole shot is about 7 to 8 seconds.
I’m running a Croxton Razor 4 24p. It will run 70 and still has a good holeshot.

I actually have Paul's 2019 MLF boat, only had 57 hours on it when I got it from him. I live about 40 miles from him. This year he is running a Merc, because as he said Honda was changing up their deal? He loved the Honda, ran them for 7-8 seasons and only had one issue, small valve or something they sent to him that he replaced. Said he never had issues.

Running a 225 on my skeeter, runs great, smooth acceleration, quiet, and great holeshot. Definitely give up a couple mph, but I'll take reliability any day. Fury 4 24p prop
97 Ranger r82 with 05 honda bf150, Helix 10 mega link with 1198c, Ultrex 80. Fish hard and keep hooking.
I'm runnning a BF225. Love it!
