Honda BF8a long shaft.
Runs great, excellent condition.  I downsized to a 5 hp.  

Charging works on it and the plug is there, just needs a wire to go to a battery.

It's manual start, and no power tilt/trim but it is significantly lighter than the later models.  About 80 pounds.
It's a 2000, very low hours don't know exact number.
Very clean, runs excellent.

Hey Mike I noticed on the cover it said 2006 EPA standards so I would assume it was around then?

Hey Les, yes it does say 2006 EPA standards for emissions, but the serial number shows it as a 2000 or 2001.  I guess they rated the emissions ahead of the manufacturing date.

Wow first I've ever heard or seen that. Honda may have been ahead of the curve in that case.

Les, I found this info that shows when EPA ratings went into effect.
 

• 1-STAR (low emission) -- equivalent to EPA 2006 limits - went into effect in 2001
• 2-STAR (very-low emission) -- 20% cleaner than 2006 EPA limits - went into effect in 2004
• 3-STAR (ultra-low emission) -- 65% cleaner than 2006 EPA limits - went into effect in 2008

Thanks. Guess I never thought much about it Mike. My 2002 Merc Optimax is the 3 star Ultra Low emission standard

Yeah, I hadn't either until recently.  I think the figures I posted were the minimum emissions allowed those years.  Most of the upper midsize - larger outboards, like yours, had those ratings a bunch sooner.

Good luck with the sale it looks like a nice clean motor.
