Modify your boat at your own risk. electric outboard motor

[paretoclinic]

This is excellent--I appreciate you being early adopters of this technology-thank you!

[WayneTheBoatGuy]

That's a pretty impressive setup.

[fireantfishing]

Came out great! Amazing how far electric outboards and batteries have come

[TravisInCanada]

I feel like it makes sense that this is the future for fishing boats. Its quiet, can move slow for trolling, has all the power you need and of course no more dealing with fuel (especially at almost $8/gallon as of the time of this post). However the power supply is an issue that needs more development, gotta get that weight and cost down.

[dwightbernheimer]

Now if you could get it to do that without tons and tons of batteries I'd be interested... too expensive too heavy... till they get it right I'll be using a 60 horsepower, with a 6 horsepower kicker, at 80 years old I don't have time for them to get it RIGHT LOL good stuff thanks for posting

[bnzy]

Awesome! When I finally get out of this student debt (SOON) I’m gonna save and buy a dang boat and put an elco on it. I have too many awesome electric only lakes near me.

[smokeshackmerica]

That’s my boy Troy! That boat is badass

[OneJuanWon]

Electric outboard technology is still in its "teething years" improvements in motor design are achieved (more efficient & quieter) as well as lithium batteries (lighter, more compact, greater charge capacity), these things will not only get better, they will get more affordable as manufacturing starts scaling up. Great video 👍

[fishingadventures]

I hope these things become more popular.

[jaymugridge]

Definitely the sign of things to come . But pushing that segment of the sport to upper limits of being affordable. I can see rules changes coming . Or that level in its own class to keep the playing field level. The guys with the deepest pockets will only be ahead for so long before someone screams unfair . Maybe im wrong.

[discoveryoutdoorskcfishing]

Just as a point of reference I have an 1860 tracker with a 50 horse motor on it and it does about 31 miles per hour max speed but average is closer to 26. The kicker however is that my boat has a hard time getting on plane with two guys in it let Alone 3 so I can tell that the torque is considerably better out of the electric motor.

[harryholden]

How about a solar power roof or canapie?

[cheeseeater]

Great video they’re going to be a lot of people interested in building one of them one of a kind keep it going 💯💪🏿

[frankiemasiellopiedmontcus]

mike you better be here for the unveil of the boat completed. awesome video brother 👍🏼💯

[chrisgroves]

Never would have gotten that top speed if you'd had that extra weight of life jackets.

[peterjorgensen]

That thing sounds so cool... Like a jet engine but not obnoxiously loud...

[seymourwrasse]

so what is the price of this complete motor set up, not including the boat, but every thing about motor batteries, labor etc

[fittygohard]

Yo that’s my hometown lol. Wild setup. Hope to see y’all there someday.

[joshuagarner]

I’m not the only one who refuses to tag my boat trailer!

[Freeflorida]

Awesome! Looked into going 20hp elco...buuttt total cost was around 15k with controller charger batteries motor and so on...just to much $ for me
