The best things come in small packages. And that’s especially true with Honda’s BF2.3, one of the world™s lightest four-stroke outboards. The BF2.3 is so light, it rivals many two-stroke 2HP engines and electric motors, without the battery! But just because it™s lightweight doesn™t mean Honda cut back on the power. The BF2.3 features 15% more power over its predecessor. Plus they added a 12% larger internal gas tank, which provides for about one hour of operation at wide open throttle. It™s a technologically advanced design that gives you power and performance “ without sacrificing portability.
