Because of the abundance
of boat brands and models in the marine industry today, it is often difficult
to differentiate between them. But when one sees a 39' sportboat slicing
more than one wave at a time, and being pushed at a high rate by four Honda V-6
225 hp outboards, he has to stop and stare.
Even with the 39' Midnight Express weighing in at 12,400 pounds with 325
gallons of fuel, Honda's quad BF225s pushed the craft to an impressive 67.8
mph. This powerful performance was achieved through Honda's proprietary
Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) and Multi-port
Programmed Fuel Injection systems.
The current 39' Midnight Express is derived from an older 37' model, originally
conceived from a stretched Cigarette boat. The experts at Midnight
Express then refined the craft by straightening the hull, raising the sides 5"
and the deck 2", shaving 2? off the V and turning the cockpit into an
efficient, self-bailing platform.
Honda has produced 4-stroke outboards for nearly 40 years, with its current
line including models from 2 to 225 hp. The company also offers the most
comprehensive, non-declining 3-year warranty in the industry.
