No more winterization? It is still a boat. It still must be winterized. And why did they decide on an inboard motor? That is very retro. You dont see any modern boats in this size doing that. Look at how awkward that prop is. Have fun getting it on and off the trailer. And where is the kicker motor? Electric or not, nobody puts to sea without an independant backup.
Electrification is cool, but dont make so many changes at once. I dont need nor want a new metal or carbon hull. Fiberglass hulls are perfectly good. Give me batteries and a standard electric outboard I can mount on my current boat. And i just dont like the idea of mixing a conductive hull, salt water, and a small tesla's worth of battery power. I dont know how it will short but i know i dont want to be anywhere near it when it does. Fiberglass please.

- kylecordes 5y agoLots of recreational boats (probably most small ones, aside from fishing boats with a trolling motor) used on lakes have no backup motor. If things break, you hopefully find someone to tow you.
