  • No more or larger motors are not the limiting factor. Current battery technology is. The boat is there to be enjoyed in silence at sedate speeds...

  • the designer just doesn't dare to put more solar panels. That would make it more perfect.

  • Do solar flares and sunspots have any adverse effect on solar energy systems?

  • Great Idea, but I think the design of the deck is horrible. Very ugly, not very functional, it needs some lines to it.

  • @stallion44107 hydrogen would be a better storage system, voltage to hydrogen and then the reverse again

  • if they can figure out how to make a battery hold a larger charge without it being massive in weight and size then electric cars and boats will become a reality for the masses. until then then they will remain toys of the moderately or uber rich.

    gasoline engines are in no danger of becoming extinct until then.

  • The only thing that sucks is that you can't catch any sun with the canopy there!

  • can they install more motors to make it faster?

  • Boats or cars - if it's electric they always make it look odd.

  • whats the price
