For mid and smaller horsepower needs, there’s plenty of punch in the Honda BF30. But it’s power you’ll feel and never hear. That’s because all Hondas are whisper quiet. So extraordinarily quiet, Honda doesn’t have to put extra dampening insulation in the cowling like most manufacturers do. Instead they pack ‘em full of features. Like a Center Mount Tiller with up-front controls. The 3 to 3 Induction system that provides smooth, quiet operation. And Autostart Enrichment, which makes starting a breeze. And of course, the exceptionally durable BF30's are backed by the best standard warranty you can get. The end result? More good times on the water.
