Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Electric boating on the web

 

Full disclosure: I did recently start working for Go-Float. Joined this group for research networking - not to sell boats. So I apologize to Denny and anyone else that found the post to be 'disingenuous'.

@Denny: thanks for the input/criticism we love hearing ideas for improving the product the environment. Also, go-fast.com is a website I neither plugged or am aware of.

Others have been helpful in the assembly of the list I referenced in the original post and for that I thank you.

A.  Why the disingenuous reference to go-fast.com from their manager of market development?

B.   At least use a PWM controller on the $2000 boat.  You are saving $100 and giving your customers a significantly worse product. 

C.  A plastic canoe with a trolling motor would perform better and costs less than half as much.

I have a few sites that I have begun to build this list with and I am hoping some of you have some favorites as well.

After some research it seems like these guys have a interesting take on using electric power for small boats. A very cool-looking boat and a very attractive price point as they start under $2000. I can see these things really taking off in the rental/resort market as a much 'sexier' pedal boat, if that makes sense. Also could be a life-saver for people who own lake shore where gas motors are prohibited. Check out their website at www.go-float.com and let me know what you think of their new idea.
