Showing Original Post only (View all)Just so you know, Chris-Craft is working on an electric boat [View all]
https://www.chriscraft.com/electric/They have a video of it in the water. It floats fine. They claim that when it's finished and ready to sell they'll want $458,000 for it...which is not out of line for that brand. (We have a 35-foot Chris-Craft on our marina's salesfloor we're asking over $700,000 for, and it's a 2022. This boat's problem at our dealership is that no one in our area wants an open-bow runabout - we sell a few big cabin cruisers and so many wakeboats and pontoons we've been known to have entire truckloads of boats sold before they get here.)

They even have an Electric Boat division, for readers with poor comprehension.

Yeah, I follow a few yacht channels on YouTube and they have highlighted some hybrid yachts that are on the market.

Should investigate the newer design batteries, weight has been the target in their design last decade.

How far out will it go, including the return trip? Any charging stations out there?
