Honda BF2.3 Portable Outboards Motors

The Best Things Come in Small Packages. 
That’s especially true with the Honda BF2.3, one of the world’s lightest four-stroke outboards. The BF2.3 is so light, it rivals many electric motors, without the battery. But just because it’s lightweight (29.5 lbs.) doesn’t mean it cuts back on power. The BF2.3 features 15% more power over its predecessor. It also provides excellent maneuverability in tight areas. With full 360° steering and pivoting tiller handle, you get full thrust in any direction and enjoy quick, easy maneuvering. Plus the 12% larger internal gas tank provides for about one hour of operation at wide open throttle. It’s technologically advanced design gives you power and performance – without sacrificing portability.
