High Points
This electric-powered boat provides enough speed and range to deliver a nice day on the water.
Lightweight, carbon-fiber construction
aids performance and looks great.
Electronic monitoring system allays
range anxiety.
Low Points
Equivalent internal-combustionpowered runabout would cost half—or even less.
Ironically, despite all this boat’s technology, it is a single straight inboard, and thus demands more experience to dock than boats with directional-thrust drivetrains.
