[Electric Boats] New member, new electric & solar powered motorboat

 

After having sold our Lagoon cruising catamaran on which we just finished a 1 year and 10.000 mile trip to the Caribbean, it is time for something different...

We are now in the process of designing and building a fully electric and solar powered 33ft motorboat. Trailerable, easily maintained, minimum (air) draft, comfortable, ready for all seasons, safe at sea. She will be powered by a 10kW steerable pod, running on a 30kWh lithium battery pack and 2kWp solar panels. We are currently finishing the design, selecting the (Dutch) yard where she will be built, and finalizing the specifications with several suppliers. Hull number 1 will be ours, but I'd like to see whether there's a broader interest in this project, especially when prices of solar panels and batteries are coming down.

If you have any feedback, tips or comments, I'd love to hear them! For images and more information on what we are doing, please visit www.arviro.com.
