Robalo and Honda have teamed up on the Gold Coast to launch the New Honda V8 350 HP Outboard and Debut the Robalo R317 on the East Coast.  The event was attended by Honda dealers and key media from around Australia with over 100 people enjoying a test drive on the broad water.  The V8 Hondas were outstanding pushing the big Robalo over 60 MPH with 10 people on board and 800 litres of fuel.  At a cruising speed of 30 knots the motors were only using 70 litres of fuel combined, giving us a range of about 350 NM.  The boat the motors and the location were all brilliant and everyone went away impressed.
