Specialist Small Craft supplies Kontra R450CC to Southampton lifeboat service
Wiltshire-based Specialist Small Craft has supplied a Kontra R450CC rescue boat to the newly formed Southampton Independent Lifeboat service.
With key features taken from Honda’s flagship V6 range, this reimagined large outboard engine range is designed to balance performance and economy in an exterior shaped to evoke Honda’s iconic heritage. The sharp silhouette is the result of Honda’s ‘dynamic motion’ design. Evolved from previous models, the progressive forward wedge has sleek functional styling and a high-quality finish.
The main technological advancement for 2021 is iST, Honda’s Intelligent Shift and Throttle technology, enabling precise electronic engine response, while allowing owners to control multiple engines with a single lever and ensuring comfortable, easy operation.
