by Newport Vessels 1 Feb 2023 11:55 PST

Newport, a leading innovator of clean electric technology in the boating and angling industry, has entered the electric outboard space with the launch of its latest products, the NT300 Electric Outboard Motor and the NK300 Electric Kayak Motor.

Both portable, next-generation designs deliver quiet lightweight performance free from the noise, maintenance and fossil fuels of traditional gas-powered motors - allowing anglers everywhere to experience unobstructed freedom on the water.

Newport has been celebrated as the predominant brand of new-age electric trolling motors for over a decade. Its newest electric powered outboards underscore the brand's commitment to enhance every facet of the fishing experience while lessening environmental impacts to small waterways and shallow water habitats.

"Newport is proud to move our industry forward with a totally redefined, emissions-free alternative to traditional gas powered motors," says 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."
