NK300HD has upped my fishing!
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I’ve been extremely happy with my Newport NK300HD. It has plenty of power, runs efficiently, and has been a great fit for my kayak fishing setup. The motor performs exactly as I’d hoped and gives me the confidence and range I want when I’m out on the water. Just as impressive has been the customer service from Newport. Cody and Randy have both been fantastic to work with—knowledgeable, responsive, friendly, and always willing to answer questions. You can tell they know their products and genuinely care about their customers. Between the performance of the NK300HD and the quality of Newport’s support team, I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Five stars all around, and I’d confidently recommend Newport to any kayak angler.

Go with the 300HD
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Glad I spoke to Newport and went with the 300HD. Great motor setup with the low profile 36V 50AH battery. First motor, first few outings were to dial it in, but have now fished over 20 miles of river. Cannot recommend this setup enough.

Nk300
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I've been extremely impressed with the Newport NK300. Installation was straightforward, and the motor is incredibly quiet, smooth, and powerful. It has more than enough thrust to move my fully rigged kayak while still being very efficient on battery life.

NK300HD
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
I like this motor it's a good motor I just don't like how the mounting bracket & the handle that lifts the motor up broke literally a few days of owning it. Instead of making these pieces plastic they need to be metal to actually last.

Should have done this sooner
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I can fish longer go further than I thought was possible ,more opportunities such as crappie spot checks hit all my way points troll in between and only use my 360 drive to hold me on spot Can even work shallow slow to worm fish bass. Also when on the coast my favorite marshes/rivers are a 3 mile one way in open water workout,,NOT now ! I will also be able to sprint to work the birds when the opportunity presents I can’t wait wish I had done it sooner

The NK300HD = Game Changer
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The NK300HD is a game changer. First time on the water with it on my NuCanoe Unlimited and my paddle never left its holder. This thing is efficient and surprisingly quiet. I’m in love.

If you ain’t first, you’re last
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I’ve been rocking the NK180 Pro for a while, but finally upgraded to the 300. That extra speed at 6+ mph with a Hobie PA at first launch during kayak tournaments has helped get to key areas before anyone else. Only regret is waiting so long to upgrade to the 300.
