To the best of my knowledge, the largest Honda is still 225HP. The 225 is very reliable, good on fuel and of course quite. The only downside to the Honda is that although they are very reliable, they are a little sluggish getting on plane and are not as fast top end as a typical 2 stroke 225. Thier performance is much like a Yamaha 225 4 stroke. I think the actual hospower rating is well below 225HP. I know Yamaha has addresses this with their new 250 4 stroke and they have plenty of power, in fact many people with relatively new larger center consoles are selling them to get the same boat with 250's.
