Honda's New Honwave Inflatable Boats

Honda Australia launched its much-anticipated Honwave range of inflatable boats at this year's Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.

Manufactured from premium-quality PVC, the Honwave range encompasses models spanning 2-3m in length, which are rated to carry Honda outboards from the BF2.3 to the BF8.

Three floor versions are available including a slatted-deck, an aluminium deck and a revolutionary air V-floor version.

The slatted-deck is ultra-light and compact with the largest buoyancy chamber on the market, while the aluminium is rugged and ready to take a demanding work load with extra-large buoyancy chambers, and the V-floor version offers a light and fast deep-V hull design and vibration-dampening floor to deliver a super smooth ride.

Popular in Europe for many years, the revised models for the Australian and New Zealand markets are prefect as a space saver tender or if you are in the market for a small tender to travel on the bow or behind the flybridge.

Read the June issue of OnH2O magazine for more information on this great new range of inflatable boats.
