Newport is a company making waves in the industry with electric outboard motors made for small boats. Recently, they announced the launch of their most powerful and technologically advanced system to date.

The NT600 Electric Outboard Motor, a 6-horsepower equivalent electric outboard designed for serious anglers and boaters, was purpose-built to pair seamlessly with the brand-new 48V LoPRO Lithium Battery.

This new system promises powerful, quiet propulsion for small boats like skiffs, jonboats and inflatables. In addition to that, it offers GPS-integrated readouts on its full color screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a high-efficiency brushless motor, all in a compact, portable package. It’s a system made for anglers who demand power without the noise, maintenance or emissions of gas.

“This is a huge milestone for us,” said Howie Strech, brand marketing manager at Newport. “The NT600 is more than just our most powerful motor, it’s a showcase of Newport’s ability to push the envelope in the electrification of small fishing vessels. From the intuitive color display to the built-in GPS and seamless integration with our LoPRO battery platform, this is a step into the future of angling.”

At the core of the system is the newly released 48V70Ah LoPRO Lithium Battery, a sleek, lightweight, low-profile powerhouse built to maximize the NT600’s performance. Offering advanced energy density and intelligent power management in a compact form, the LoPRO simplifies 48V systems for anglers seeking plug-and-play efficiency.

“We didn’t just want to release a bigger battery, we wanted to redefine what a 48V system could look and feel like,” said Jason Kardas, Newport’s head of product development. “The LoPRO is the result of extensive R&D and field testing. It’s compact, powerful, and built to work in perfect harmony with the NT600. Together, they offer the ultimate electric boating experience.”
