    Is it possible or even feasible to convert a Honda V-6 engine to an inboard engine, using a heat exchanger of course.

    If I was going to pick a modern gasoline car engine I would probartly go for a honda. They probartly build the best gasoline engines in the worl, They newer brake.

    I say give it a go.

    Go to Glen-L and look at customer's boats. One guy there used a v-tec honda in a small runabout. Let me know if you can't find it, and I'll se if I can hunt it up.

    Good luck getting "conversion parts". They may make marine conversion kits, but I've never heard of any. Then again, I wonder what they use in Japan for their boats, or do they actually import OMC, Mercruiser, and Volvo parts? It's always been my understanding that country is like a check valve- they send stuff our way, but don't take anything (appreciable) in return....
