You are "an excellent driver", "an excellent driver."

8 hrs at 4.5kts…how do you ski behind this POS

Half Mine II/ TEAM GEICO
2660 Sailfish
150 Yamahas

You could run 40MPH for 5 minutes and call TowBoat or SeaTow to bring you a new battery:wink: Wonder how much that type service would go up in cost:question:

I like this one better, but they have a long way to go with this technology.

If you think a four stroke is quiet…

The price is certainly reasonable.

Until these things can run at cruise for at least a few hours, I doubt this market will go very far.

And maybe if you had Tesla-like charging stations at every fuel dock, but I don’t see that happening either.

It’s a good start, and the technology will just improve. Put solar cells on your bottom fishing boat, charge er up while you’re out there.

I can’t imagine being in a boat with no real engine noise though…

23, I especially like the Bow Rails and the Captains Hat! Didn’t Rap build something like that last year? Bet he doesn’t have a Captains Hat:wink:

Greenline is close with their Hybrid boat. I’ve never been out on one, but I got to look at one up close at the City Marina (St. Barts dock) and it’s a sleek looking machine.
