New Honda BF150A2LA 150 HP Outboard Motor

About this engine

Honda built its marine reputation on a simple promise: car-like refinement, four-stroke quiet, and engineering that just keeps running. The BF150 is where that philosophy meets real horsepower. Its 2,354cc DOHC inline-four carries VTEC — yes, the same variable valve timing Honda made famous on the road — which broadens the torque curve so the engine pulls cleanly from idle to its 5,000–6,000 rpm working range, with PGM-FI programmed fuel injection metering every drop.

The supporting numbers are pure Honda thoroughness: a 55-amp alternator with 40 amps of charging capacity for house loads, a 2.14:1 gear ratio, and a weight around 480 pounds that suits 150-class hulls without punishing the transom. On the water, owners talk about the same things — the near-silent idle, the smoothness at troll, and fuel numbers that make long runs feel cheaper than they should.

Our stock is 22 new engines in the classic silver A2 styling, photographed in their shipping frames and on the cowling from front and rear, so what you see is literally what ships. These are the mechanical-control L-shaft (20-inch) models — the straightforward, rigger-friendly specification most repowers call for. And they sit under Honda's 5-year non-declining pleasure-use warranty program, the strongest factory coverage story in the class.

The A2-generation BF150 has a loyal following among owners who value the mechanical-control specification: no drive-by-wire conversion, straightforward rigging, and a powerhead whose service procedures are documented across one of the longest production runs in the 150 class. The dual-balance-shaft smoothness, the VTEC-assisted midrange, and Honda's corrosion-protection systems are all part of why these engines are still working commercial and rental duty long after their contemporaries retired.

For buyers rigging twins, the 22-unit stock is the story: matched pairs (or triples) of identical new engines with identical specification — 20-inch shafts, PGM-FI, 55-amp charging — ready to go on the transom together, under the same Honda 5-year non-declining warranty program.

Twenty-two identical new Hondas is fleet-grade availability — for a single repower, twin installations, or a rental and guide operation standardizing on one engine. At 22.5% below market, they will not stay twenty-two for long. WhatsApp us first.
