Choose Honda BF250DURA for a high-transom offshore hull that needs 250 HP, a 30-inch U-long shaft, and traditional mechanical cable controls. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DURA is a Signature Silver VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is intended for conventional mechanical rigging.

At 622 lbs dry, the motor should be included in the vessel’s transom, repower, trailer, and balance calculations. The 30-inch U-long shaft provides extended transom reach for compatible offshore boats, while the 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection. Its 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported electronics, and the listed engine oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter.
