20. Yes, offshore, but only 35 feet....

And not enough space for enough batteries to make it that far. Small cars can barely claim that range, and they are lighter and don't run through wind and waves the size of mountains trying to throw you backwards.

Maybe tech will catch up some day, and a hybrid solution will pop up. Diesel electric is much more efficient than direct drive transmissions. Add batteries for hybrid power on shorter trips and it might make sense on that big hatt. They have space for something like that, and electric drives offer enough torque to easily drive them if you have generators and batteries.
