Saw a very interesting story on a 23ft yacht tender that claims to have hit 47 knots with an all electric system configured by Regen Nautics.

Their video seems to bear out their reported speed...and shows some aggressive skiing to boot.
Sounds like they used a motor by UQM Technologies, which I had never heard of before, to repower an Evinrude OB...and juiced the whole thing with "lithium NMC" batteries from Corvus, another name I had not heard.
I couldn't find mention whether this boat is slated for production or not. Still, I have to tip my hat to them for a unique feat. Would love to know more about the motor they used and the corresponding specs.
