Honda News & Events

While the upgraded lineup spans both the inline-four BF115–BF150 models and the larger V6 family, it was the V6 platform that recently drew attention during a day on the water in the Hauraki Gulf, where a pair of trailer boats – a Marco 635 Evolution and a Seaboss 670HT – were put through their paces with Honda’s new BF200 V6 outboards bolted to the transoms.

Honda Marine’s new V6 outboards come with subtle but significant upgrades over their predecessors.

The engines’ new styling is striking, but the real goodies are the electronic smarts. All designed to simplify your boating experience – and with better fuel efficiency.

We’re excited to announce the arrival of Honda Marine’s newly updated outboard motor lineup – the BF115, BF135, and BF150 inline-four models, along with the BF200, BF225, and BF250 V6 range. These engines represent the latest evolution in Honda’s legendary marine engineering, delivering a powerful combination of durability, comfort, fuel economy, and ease of use.

Honda's first V8 engine available commercially has secured three industry awards for innovative technology and design. The sleek, new model integrates a host of exclusive, innovative features that deliver premium power and unparalleled performance for an extraordinary boating experience.

Come see the Honda team at the Boat show at Auckland Showgrounds May 2026. Check out the range, get some advice on what's best for your boat and learn why a Honda outboard is the #bestbehindyou.
