Newport, the manufacturer of clean electric technology for the boating and angling industry, entered the electric outboard space with the launch of its NT300 Electric Outboard Motor and the NK300 Electric Kayak Motor. 

Both portable, next-gen designs deliver quiet, lightweight performance free from the noise, maintenance and fossil fuels of traditional gas-powered motors.

“Newport is proud to move our industry forward with a totally redefined, emissions-free alternative to traditional gas-powered motors,” said Josh Neville, head of marketing at Newport. “We want anglers to experience the freedom from hassle, cost and maintenance, so we created a motor as simple and clean as the adventure it’s designed to power. Our NT300 and NK300 are designed to usher in a new era of cleaner adventures for boaters and anglers without sacrificing the capability of gas-fueled counterparts.”
