[Electric Boats] Nautique all-electric wakeboard boat

 

Nautique just announced their 2nd venture into all-electric boats. The wakeboard boat will be unveiled at the Detroit Boat show (mid-February; I may attend)

Interestingly, the motor/control system is a joint venture between Nautique and a Canadian company LTS Marine, who, in turn, procure the motors from TM4 (http://www.tm4.com/en/electric_powertrain.aspx).

TM4 has a brushless motor and controller that they have leveraged from their work in the automotive space.

So.....how long will it be that electric boats will drop brushed motors (ala Mars) for brushless technology? is the consensus that SevCon controllers are pretty good for marine applications?
