Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Hello, New to group - do I have enough data to consider con

 

I did get pricing on the 25hp.
It was too big for my boat , and was fairly expensive , but for me at least , not prohibitively so.
If they had the 10hp , based on the Beta twin available now , I'd buy it , I reckon it would be fantastic.
But I don't want to miss a summer season of sailing waiting , so I'll miss out I guess.
Regards Rob J.
