Re: [Electric Boats] 300 mile range at 60mph plugin

 

true of all transport
water has the highest "rolling resistance"
acceleration is similar in all cases.
the water vehicle with highest acceleration demand is hydrofoil. Perhaps a better choice would be a WIG.
I have heard claims of double the fuel efficiency of an aircraft

My boat needs:
 1400w. 4kt. 350wh/n-mi
  2800w,  5kt, 560w-h/mi

So range depends on speed...

It does, in a car. However, boat loadings are spectacularly different and significantly higher so the mileage and speeds are well down
