@@priceburnett It takes ~15k miles for a 300-mile BEV to 'pay off' the extra energy used in making it. For the Macan, that's about 750gal of fuel. I just don't expect e.g. a rich guy's Yacht tender to ever get used that much.

Out Of Spec Boatering, I dig it😁👍🏼

Electric powertrains are quickly coming a major market segment in the sailboat world. People are repowering with electric and most boats come with it as an option from the factory. Especially on the race boats the quiet and lightweight are a treat.

Your Dad should buy one! 😅

A good survey of the boat, politely showing the shortcomings. Based on a $200-300K Fantom Air, there's the cost of a couple of Macans added to the price … : ) In this "half mill" price range, expect: * joystick steering for 360º docking maneuvers with easy, GPS hold station-keeping, autopilot navigation, optimal "return to port" * direct drive (the gearbox is the _weak_ link in a boat power train, getting rid of it saves weight at the transom, significantly reduces losses and improves NVH) * twin engine for efficiency, durability, differential steering * 2+2 seating, the seats across the stern get buffeting and spray and noise and restricted view, more motion sickness * range and power seem to be great fun, but it's a small boat not suited to open water (note bow-rising ride in calm seas) * instruments were difficult to read, console was already looking scratched

Very cool to see because of that instant torque. Getting up on a plane is made so much easier. I recall a company in the Netherlands converting boats using used Leaf batteries years ago but this appears to be on a whole new level.

The quietness is similar to sailing, amazing.

This must be great for waterskiing and wakeboarding etc with the instant torque

It's likely not a coolant -> ambient bottleneck, but an inverter then maybe motor/battery bottleneck. All that stuff is taken from the Porsche and redesigning it is an unreasonable thing to expect.

@@concinnus this guy is talking about “unreasonable thing to expect” on a tiny $500,000 boat. 😂. Batteries, inverters, and motors already have cooling loops. And when they are in cars they have the disadvantage of only being able to reject heat to air. I’ll bet anything they didn’t bother to cooling some of the components. Epic fail.

Doesn’t everyone? 70mph is about 100kw or under 150Hp. A used Tesla model S 100 battery and two Netgain warp 9 motors would be about as cheap as you can go. Given the warp 9s are $5000 each, and the total mass of the motors and battery are about 500kg minus the rest of the power train, stick to 4 stroke with a wet exhaust for now. Or just buy ten trolling motors?
