Test the Performance

We're running official performance tests on Cape Horns with Honda outboards and you’re invited to ride along.

When we set up these Cape Horns with Honda Marine power, we did it for a reason: our experience told us these boats are going to run, handle, and perform better with these engines. But right now, official performance numbers for these exact setups don't exist. We're changing that.

On October 23rd & 24th at Juana’s Pagodas, we’re spending two full days putting three Cape Horn models through complete performance testing. We don't just run a boat once—we’re putting them through real-world scenarios all day long, checking trim, speed, RPMs, and overall handling.

Test Fleet:

Cape Bay 23 powered by Honda 250

Cape Horn 28XS powered by Twin Honda 250s

Cape Horn 32XS powered by Twin Honda 350s

Location & Parking Notes:

Staging Point: We will be launching and running test rides directly out of the public boat ramp adjacent to Juana's Pagodas

Hang Out & Grab a Bite: Make a day of it! Juana's Pagodas is right on the water next to the ramp, making it the perfect spot to grab lunch, cold drinks, or hang out on the deck before or after your time on the water.
