Electric boats seem to be a better options for sure - especially for marine life, no risk of oil spills etc. This was a great video! I do wonder if they could fit a solar panel on there, for some extra power in case of an emergency/inattentiveness to how much battery life you have left.

$300K is not too bad for a boat like this. There are dozens of competitors by now that have all-electric boats with a wide range of power, speed and range combinations. But if you want speed, the soon to be released Mayla FortyFour takes things to the next level, does 70 knots 👍If I´m not mistaken the guy you interviewed worked at Tesla 😀

Shelby dropping videos bigger channels wish they thought of! You're killing it!

This is such an interesting video Shelby, thank you for making it 😊

Thanks for the BEV boat review, it’s exciting to see all the electric boats coming to market.

Great video, thanks for making this Shelby!

I think an electric would be great for lake boating. You're not in salt water and going so fast. That Arc One is pretty dang cool though!

Thank you, Shelby, you gave us a clear explanation of an interesting topic. If I had the money , I would opt for a small electric boat, mostly because of the noise factor.

This was super interesting! It's awesome to see young innovators thinking about what's next in more sustainable alternatives within various industries. Can't wait to see how this company evolves - very exciting!

I think this might be very useful tech on lakes in particular.

Really enjoy Shelby's videos. Informative, entertaining, and high production quality. As for the boat, I can certainly do without the smell of gasoline boats. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Great video, Shelby!!

Shelby, it would be awesome if you had the opportunity to check out Candela’s boats. They lift up and out of the water using foils which minimizes drag and requires far less energy than traditional boats (not to mention a much smoother ride). Candela is the future.

Great video Shelby!

Very good review for a non-boater, actually very good review in general. Great job 👍🏼

Wow it looks really nice and I’m all for sustainability. Hopefully they can make affordable ones eventually but overall nice! Also, it reminds of when I went on Maid of the mist, I really like the electric concept for bodies of water and am interested to see if they’ll ever be able to make some for the oceans. Great video!

cool hearing about the design nuances

Great video but you NEED to look into Candela electric boats. They do not require the same amount of energy they coast ABOVE the water on hydrofoils. Just as expensive but longer range and smoother. They also just launched a pretty big pretty fast electric ferry based on the same tech.

This is dope. I hadn't considered electric boats before.

Great video. That is a cool boat.

Wow this is cool, esp that it supports wakeboarding!

Electric speedboat that sounds very interesting to have now these days I wonder where can I get one of those boots?

loved this and i want one

I love boating! And miss it so much, this is rather interesting but sounds annoying to having to keep charging from time to Time.

Shelby, that's a nice electric boat but you were literally almost, blown away during that 30 mph ride! He needs life jackets on that boat. ⛵️🛥

strut it Shelby make us boys drool

I'll just wait for the inevitable Tesla Boat😂

Just design alone, this is a sick boat. It looks so cool!

Wow, that is impressive! We make electric motors for sailboats - this is way cool to see in a powerboat!

I like the hydrofoil electric boats, they require way less battery juice to go way longer distances! :D Hydrofoils should come down in price since composite manufacturing is so cheap now along with cheaper motors and robotics to control the hydrofoils (retracting them etc)

Was the engine loud when he accelerated?

Can't wait until Solid State Batteries get here.

Couple hours of power at most. Until battery storage greatly increases, this is just a dream for boaters.

Oh! So beautiful 💚

I wonder if electric boats would be a good fit for areas where they don't allow gas powered boats. you'd have to limit the speed in those areas but would still be cool to see. Electric boats would also be great for lakes in more rural areas. On the dock you could have a little solar setup that would trickle charge the boat over time so you could use it over the weekend, then it charges backup over the week while your away.

thats impressive

I like the idea of a more quiet motor boat. The worst part of boating is how loud it is.

love to take one out on Puget Sound

Very interesting

30 MPH on water that is not like glass, can be 😳. (Quite a wild ride). Saw a few competition boats top out over 100 MPH. {Cannot even imagine anything above 20 MPH on choppy water}.

How much fuel would a similar size gas-powered boat use? If a person boated a lot would the $300K electric one pay for itself over say 15 years?

Things sick

I have found we fill up our nautilus every other day when wake surfing in the summer, ( I spend a month on the lake every summer), and think this boat is very unique as the trend nowadays is for wakeboats. Also, at least on our boats, I find our issues are rarely with the engine and typically wriund the bells and whistles on a boat, swim platform stuck, propeller scratched, and the associated fees with having the boat cleaned and storage etc, not really the oil change and that kind of stuff. However, I think it is a neat idea for some, but definitely targets a niche audience for people with a lot of money, and that have access to a dock, and not a buoy, it wouldn’t work on a mooring, which is where many boats are stored. For the record I have an electric vehicle already and am not anti electric, just think these electric boats and specifically this boat are targeting a very small audience.

Same as Gas cars. Engine rarely is the issue until it is 10+ years old. Oil changes are cheap and not that often. I think Tesla drivers blow out of proportion the maintenance. I own a BMW EV and Gas Honda. I don't see a significant difference in cost. 99% of the cost is still depreciation, insurance, and weekly washing for the first 10 years.

@@bbgator1 a boat doesn’t have brake pads, but, never had to replace mine on my Tesla, also, $250 minimum annually for oil and fluid changes on a gas car. Biggest deal is no $100 per week for gas. Still needs wipers and tires and I burn through tires on the Tesla, probably bc of how I accelerate.

For a second there I thought Mitch was Steven from areyoukiddingtv

The boat seems cool if you want to go fishing.

Use a pump water jet instead of a propeller, better power efficiency and acceleration and a higher top speed, this works well with electric boats, also it’s less harmful to wildlife in a collision event and no emissions too with battery electric boats. Nice to see this available, have you thought of sodium batteries? The swedes have ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Aluminium is way better for the environment. Fiber glass cannot be recycled. Awesome video and so cool to see electrification on the water as well. You could cover the nose in solar panels to give you some extra charging or to power music, phones etc. Could potentially also get you to sore if you run out of battery. Love your content, you have gotten completely professional on your videos.

Love

As usual it’s a great video and an interesting topic but I wish more folks would talk about the COST and surprisingly harsh environmental abuse it takes to mine and manufacture the materials needed for batteries for electric cars and (I assume) this boat. Fuels are not as harsh as TPTB would have people think. But my bigger point is for those that think electric vehicles are environmental friendly. They aren’t. They are hugely inconvenient for regular travel. They have no use in cold weather. What they are is very cool. And they have their place where they make sense in some locations. I’m never going to tell someone they shouldn’t buy an electric vehicle - you do you. But don’t lie to yourself that you’re saving the planet by doing so.

Loved the video Shelb. Glad youre dabbling again in your tech/electric niche. One thing, it felt like the video couldve used just a bit more background/context. Theres tons of electric boats, mostly in the yatch class. Shout out to SilentYatchs. A bit of commentary on the woder picture would be amazing. As always, wheres my OF docu at. I need to know how to best price pictures of my butthole.

That boat will sink so fast all that weight from the batteries. Useless for long boat trips & fishing where you can take extra fuel with you on a gas or diesel boat. Shelby you need to check out Stabicraft fishing boats made in New Zealand. They are beasts

Another Tesla-inspired floating brick, seems so unimaginative.

100% agreed, I don't know why companies like to completely change the look of vehicles on the inside and outside when they go electric. The basic idea hasn't changed, only the powertrain, they seem to get overly concerned with looking like a "future" vehicle, which will just date it even faster.

Curious what the batteries weigh

Like the Electric Car in GTA5

I am surprised the batteries are only 220KW. This shows how batteries have advanced in output, weight, efficiency and lower cost. The technology and costs of batteries is set to further improve in coming years. Battery cost per KW is looking to half by 2030. Expect to see more electric boats in coming years.

It's difficult to monitor fuel levels on boats, especially with older models, which is why it's more common to run out of gas on a boat than a car. But, electric boats do a great job of monitoring battery power (considering the variables of wind and waves). The electric boats do a good job of notifying users when they should return for power, and probably track distance (and maybe even the wind direction!) to make sure you make it. They probably have a small back up battery reserve too. It wouldn't be fool proof, but plenty of idiots get on the water every day already.

❤

I bought a FLYING electric boat with VAT for half that price 'retractable foils). Those people are making a huge margin couting on the wow effect.

I've seen a lot of gas and oil floating on waterways - maybe e-watercraft make sense, ecologically.

❤❤

The typical electric vehicle does not have 60KwH, most model 3 and Y have 75Kwh. S and X have 100KwH. cybertruck has 123Kwh. Expensive batteries are $200/Kwh but at volume they are approaching $120/KwH. But even at the upper price of 200Kwh you are only at $44k in batteries. So, the $300k price tag isn't because of the batteries. It's because they can charge that for being one of the first.

Did Monica quit KZread? I think it's been a while since I've seen a Monica video

Liking the video as always. Considering the environmentalism even an electric car takes about 40k miles to become more environmental friendly than equivalent gasoline car when taken account the manufacturing. So this boat might never become more environmental friendly than ordinary boat. No one buys this for slowly cruising around so the maybe one hour battery life in full speed makes it just a toy for rich kids. It's gonna take a long time before these are viable for the main stream.

They're a good way to get the industry off the ground until the prices come down enough for every day people - including commercial fishermen - to adapt them. At scale, they can have a great impact on the environment, since they produce significantly fewer emissions (even if the electricity is made from fossil fuels). And battery technology is improving to have a lesser impact as well. If you consider that ICE (internal combustion engines) are more polluting on boats than in cars due to more relaxed regulation, it's even more beneficial. Plus, zero fuel spills. People who use boats for work tend to hang onto boats longer than most people hang onto cars, so the 40k equivalent might be easily met, even if the batteries only last about 10 years.

Nice 👌 😅

A good chunk of money to buy an electric speedboat.

For the size of it, seems too expensive. And I do realize that a sailboat which can cost less, has a lot more maintenance and uses gas or diesel which can be expensive too. But it doesn’t seem like you can do as much with that boat. So many sailboats cost much less and you can live aboard them.

The Tesla of Speedboats.

@Fritz_Schlunder

4 ай бұрын

Not at all. Tesla automobiles are currently fairly expensive, but they are otherwise quite practical human and cargo transportation devices, that are both relatively comfortable and fun to drive (due to fast acceleration and unusual features like autopilot). Their existence and design serves a functional purpose for society, that goes beyond simple recreation. Recreational boats like the one shown in the video are not practical at all, and they exist only to function as expensive toys. The manufacturer appears to be trying to copy Tesla's aesthetic choices by adopting a touchscreen and white seats, but the lack of functional and practical use scenarios for the product mean that it is more akin to a "Tonka" (a type of toy truck for kids) than a "Tesla" automobile. There are many questionable design choices made in the boat shown in this video. Aluminum is a quite reactive metal, and continuous salt water exposure will eat it for lunch. Birds will likely perch on the top of the touchscreen and crap on the touch surface. The lack of solar panel canopy means that the human passengers will suffer major sunburn and excess exposure, leading to discomfort and possible cancer. The seeming lack of proper hand holds means that passengers will occasionally be injured by flying about uncontrolled when moving at speed over choppy waters. The heavy weight of the battery pack will cause the boat to sit lower in the water than conventional gasoline powered boats, which will require backing up a boat trailer further down a boat ramp compared to conventional boats, leading to increased probability of accidentally driving too far and causing your tow vehicle to get lost into the water. The heavy weight of the battery pack will also make it harder to remove the boat from the water, and the tow vehicle may not have enough tire traction on the boat ramp to successfully pull it out of the water (particularly if the tow vehicle is two wheel drive, and the boat ramp is steep, covered in water, and does not have enough surface texturing to provide good enough tire traction). The lack of solar panels and/or gasoline engine means that the boat cannot travel long distances on water. The lack of solar panel canopy means that the seats and other surfaces will be destroyed by the sun and possible rain and mold in relatively short order. A likely somewhat better boat design would use a fiberglass hull and implement half the battery pack size. The recovered expense and weight of reduced battery capacity could be allocated towards a solar panel canopy, a gasoline generator, a microwave oven and barbecue grill, a fish finder, an underwater acoustic range finder and mapping system, quad motors and propellers (one at each corner of the boat, with 360 degree gimbaling for perfect station keeping and lateral transitions), an inverter that can power appliances and feed back energy to the grid/marina, an inverter control system that enables the electric utility company to use the battery pack as grid attached battery storage, thus generating revenue for the owner, when the boat is not in use, an electric refrigerator, an on-board electric incinerator toilet, electric heated seats, electric air conditioning and/or swamp cooler and/or fans, a bed (who buys a speed boat without hopes of enticing attractive ladies out onto the water in the hope of somehow eventually getting laid?), torpedo launch tubes, etc. Basically, you can do all kinds of things when you have access to enough electricity, a battery, an inverter, and a budget to implement cool gadgets of primarily recreational value. The torpedo launch tubes are not required, but if implemented, they would likely add recreational value (at least to those who like fireworks and other things that go bang). A boat designed purely for recreation purposes need not be practical at all, but that does not mean that they should not be comfortable or feature toys that are "fun".

Let's have a closer look at the electricity in marinas: Being a sailor myself I totally agree with you that there are shore power sockets all over the marina. BUT: For example cabrillo marina in L.A. provides you with 30 - 50 Amps of electricity. Taking into account that your grid in the USA works with only 120 volts, this results in charging power of 3.6 kW to 6 kW. Now it's easy to do the maths: It will take you 36 to 61 hours to recharge a battery of 220 kWh. So... it cannot be done in just one night at one of these sockets. 😉

The electric grid in the US is 240 volts. You have 2 lines of 120 and a neutral. Most central air and electric ranges use 240 volts. If you install an EV charging station at home it will be 240 volts. Higher voltage is available in commercial buildings.
