HONDA 130 OR 115 the question is now

[Borko Pusic]

Hi<br />I'm buing a Arimar Scuba 540 and in broshure they say it is for up to 120 HP.<br />I have a diving center and the boat is going to take a lot of waight and beating.<br />My honda dealer is offering me 130 etl. for only 150 Euro more than the price of 115 etl.<br />He has a problem with the deliveri of 115.<br />So my consurns are:<br />-is 130 too strong for my boat (the weight of the motors is the saim)??<br />- do 130 have shorter life than 115 because of more power they have so they wear of sooner???<br />- is this motor able to make lots of worck for me in my diving center???<br />Thank you.

Hello, Kokopeli.<br /><br />Yes. The BF115 and the BF130 are essentially the same engine in different states of tune.<br /><br />If your boat can handle the weight (over 500lb.) and you don't routinely run her at full throttle you should be able to get long, reliable service from the BF130.<br /><br />Good luck.
