I have no use for a boat. But my parents have one from the early 90s and would love to get an electric replacement. I think $100k is probably the upper limit though... And I've often thought about how easy (compared to cars) it would be to make a good one. I thought it would make for a good between-jobs hobby project.

Cars are extremely complicated; boats are much simpler because the production volumes simply do not support such complexity. That said, an electric boat is subject to a great deal of corrosion and other problems; I personally know of two electric boats which have caught fire and sustained significant damage.
