Where to Buy a Honda Outboard: What’s in Stock

The honda outboard for sale lineup stocked here spans a small portable four-stroke, a mid-range honda marine outboard, and a larger model at the top of this range, covering most of the repower sizes boat owners actually search for.

You can browse the full outboard motors category and filter by horsepower and stock status to compare honda bf outboard price across the lineup. For how Honda compares to other outboard brands generally, our where to buy an outboard motor hub guide covers that ground first; this guide narrows to Honda specifically. If you want background on Honda’s smallest portable model, our Honda 2 HP outboard guide covers that directly.

Picking the Right Size for Your Boat

A buy Honda outboard online search often returns the whole lineup mixed together, without explaining which size actually suits which boat.

Portable four-strokes (like the BF20) are aimed at small boats, tenders, and kicker motor use, where light weight and easy handling matter more than top speed; this is the honda portable outboard for sale tier most first-time buyers start with.

Mid-range four-strokes (like the BF90) are a common repower tier for smaller center consoles and similar boats, balancing weight, fuel economy, and enough power for most recreational use.

Larger four-strokes (like the BF150) sit well above the mid-range tier, aimed at bigger or heavier boats that need substantially more power.

Match the replacement to your boat’s rated maximum horsepower, not just your old engine’s original rating, and confirm shaft length and starting type separately from horsepower.

Check Fit Before You Order

Shaft length is the single most common outboard buying mistake, and Honda’s own suffix codes pack in more configuration detail than most brands (shaft length, start type, controls, and rotation can all vary within the same horsepower).

Run the specific model through the site’s own Compatibility Check tool before you order, and confirm shaft length and start type against your boat directly rather than assuming it matches your old engine.

Featured In-Stock Models

Three current listings illustrate the portable, mid-range, and larger options.

Honda BF20DK3LHGC

A portable four-stroke. The listing here states 20 HP, 21.4 cubic inches (350 cc) of displacement, and a 129 lbs dry weight for this LHGC-Type configuration (long shaft, electric features). An independent engine review confirms 20 HP and 21.4 cubic inches of displacement, matching the listing here, but its weight figures (listed inconsistently within the review itself as either 104 lbs or 101 lbs) describe the lighter manual-start, short-shaft “S” configuration, not the LHGC long-shaft electric-start build actually sold here.

Honda BF90DK5LRTC

A mid-range four-stroke. Honda’s own Australian spec page confirms 90 HP at 5,800 RPM and 1,496 cc of displacement, matching the listing here exactly. Its published dry weight of 166 kg (about 366 lbs) runs 7 lbs over the 359 lbs shown on the listing here for the LRTC-Type specifically, a small enough gap to likely reflect a type or regional rigging difference rather than a real conflict.

Honda BF150AK2XC

A larger four-stroke, the top of this lineup. Honda’s own US technical specifications release confirms 150 HP at 5,500 RPM and 2,354 cc of displacement for the BF150, matching the listing here exactly. That release doesn’t publish a weight for the counter-rotating XC-Type specifically; the closest documented figure, the standard-rotation X-Type, is listed at 487 to 493 lbs depending on steering option, close to the 492 lbs shown on the listing here.

Confirm the model year and exact suffix shown on the listing against the current spec sheet before you order, since Honda’s suffix codes change meaning across shaft length, start type, and rotation.

Current pricing, exact configuration options and stock status are shown on each product page rather than reproduced here, since both change over time.

Two Gaps Worth Knowing About

Checking these three listings against independent and manufacturer sources turned up two gaps rather than hard conflicts.

The BF20DK3LHGC’s weight couldn’t be confirmed against a source documenting its exact configuration. The only independent review found covers Honda’s lighter manual-start, short-shaft “S” variant, and that review itself gives two different weights for the same engine (104 lbs in its spec table, 101 lbs in its written report) — so even the source we’d compare against isn’t fully consistent internally. The core horsepower and displacement are confirmed, but the LHGC-Type’s exact weight isn’t independently documented here.

The BF150AK2XC’s counter-rotating weight also isn’t separately published by Honda’s own technical release, which only breaks weight out by shaft length and steering type, not rotation. The standard-rotation figure is close to what’s listed here, but a counter-rotating lower unit can change weight slightly, so treat the exact figure as approximate until confirmed.

Shipping and Warranty, Briefly

Outboards ship as freight, with published US and Canada delivery windows of 7 to 14 business days, quoted at checkout based on weight and destination. New Honda outboards carry the manufacturer’s own warranty, not a seller warranty; confirm that US warranty registration applies to your specific unit before you order, since registration and coverage terms can vary by region.

Our where to buy an outboard motor guide and the shipping information page cover delivery and inspection steps in more detail.

Common Mistakes Buyers Make

  • Picking a Honda size based on an old engine’s horsepower rather than the boat’s actual rated maximum.
  • Assuming a lighter configuration’s published weight (like a manual-start short shaft) applies to a heavier one (like an electric-start long shaft) at the same horsepower.
  • Guessing shaft length instead of measuring the transom directly.
  • Not confirming US warranty registration applies before assuming full coverage.
  • Overlooking that a counter-rotating model can weigh slightly more than its standard-rotation sibling.

When to Get Help Before You Buy

If you’re not sure which Honda size fits your boat, or need the BF20’s or BF150’s exact configuration weight confirmed, it’s worth asking first.

Honda Outboard: FAQs

Where can I buy a Honda outboard online?

Universal Engine Parts lists Honda outboard motors for sale across portable and mid-range to larger four-stroke configurations, so you can compare by horsepower and shaft length before you check fit and order.

What’s the difference between the BF20, BF90, and BF150?

The BF20 is a portable four-stroke aimed at small boats and tenders; the BF90 and BF150 are mid-range to larger four-strokes, a common repower tier for center consoles and similar boats, with the BF150 stepping up substantially in power and weight over the BF90.

What’s a typical honda bf outboard price?

Honda outboard price varies significantly by horsepower, shaft length, and configuration (start type, controls, and standard vs. counter-rotating); check each live product page rather than assuming price scales neatly with horsepower.

Why wasn’t the BF20’s exact weight confirmed?

The only independent review found covers Honda’s lighter manual-start, short-shaft configuration, not the long-shaft, electric-start LHGC-Type actually listed here, and that review gives two different weight figures for its own configuration. Horsepower and displacement are confirmed; the LHGC-Type’s exact weight is flagged rather than assumed.

Is a Honda outboard dealer online the same as buying directly from Honda?

No. Universal Engine Parts is an independent retailer, not a Honda-owned storefront. New units carry Honda’s own manufacturer warranty regardless of where they’re purchased, but confirm registration requirements apply to your situation before ordering.

Can you help me pick the right Honda size for my boat?

Yes. Send us your boat’s details and intended use through a Compatibility Check or Contact Us, and we’ll help you compare the real total cost of each option, not just the horsepower number.
