Honda Marine Turns 50 Years Young
2014 is a
milestone year for Honda, with the company celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the very first Honda four-stroke outboard engine, the GB30. A
modest 4hp engine, it represented the noble ambitions of Honda’s founder,
Soichiro Honda, to manufacture only four-stroke engines for the benefit of the
environment and generations to come.
Now, with a
range that stretches from the BF2.3 to the mighty BF250 – and includes the
latest additions, the BF80 & BF100 – Honda Marine continues to be a leader
in four-stroke outboard engine technology.
“Honda has to make
environmentally-friendly products; therefore we must build four-stroke
outboards,” Mr Honda
said in 1964. “I don’t care if everyone
is making two-stroke outboards, Honda must make four-stroke outboards.”
Honda Australia
General Manager – Marine, Victor Colcott, sees 50 years in any industry as an
impressive achievement, let alone one as competitive as the Australian marine
industry.
“Given the changes that this industry has
gone through over the past five decades,” Mr Colcott said, “it is a testament to Honda that we are
still a leader in the industry when it comes to environmentally-friendly
innovation and performance.
“We’ve grown our range to cater for all
boating enthusiasts. From the unbridled performance of our high-horsepower
engines all the way down to the convenience of our portable range, there’s
something for everyone.
“To everyone who has ever bought a Honda
outboard, and to all Honda Marine dealers and staff around Australia, thank
you. Here’s to the next 50 years!”

New Bowrider Release from Quinnie
Quintrex’s new bowrider release, the 530 Cruiseabout aims to be a boat to be enjoyed by the whole family.
With fresh and modern plate look sides, the
530 Cruiseabout is built with tough 4mm bottom sheets and the new
Quintrex Blade Hull. The new Blade Hull is featured across the entire
range and built with Quintrex’s famous Stretch Forming Technology,
offering the stable and soft ride Quintrex boats are renowned for.
There is plenty of room for relaxing in the 530
Cruiseabout with a large and luxurious front lounge and a new Rear
Folding Lounge, which can be folded flush against the transom when extra
space is required.
With room for up to seven friends or family members
and rated up to 115hp the 530 Cruiseabout is the perfect option for
taking some time out on the water.
Adding to its new look the 530 Cruiseabout features a new look Dash and Raised Top Deck constructed from a UV stable material.
While the new Dash allows room for larger
electronics to be mounted and provides better visibility of the gauges,
the Raised Top Deck is complemented with a new low profile wind screen.
Quintrex National Account Manager Cameron Wood said
the UV stable, scratch and stain resistant moulded Top Deck combined
the strength of aluminium with the aesthetic lines of moulded products.
‘The composite material used to create the moulded
Top Deck has previously been used in the automotive industry and we have
adapted it for marine use,’ Cameron said.
‘The 530 Cruiseabout has a great design that
maximises space, the new transom design actually increases the internal
space by 180mm and with better cable guides it creates a clutter free
boat,’ he said.
The 530 Cruiseabout is available as a Quintrex
Instant Boating Package including boat, BRP motor and Quintrex trailer
complete with a three year limited factory warranty.
