It seems to me that boaters interested in electric propulsion fall into three camps:
There are boaters who are willing to accept the very limited range at high power levels (compared to ICEs) that is typical of electric boats, and they choose to operate their boats in manner that suits their available energy.
Then there are the folks who are considering converting less suitable hulls, or have unreasonable expectations of performance. Let's hope we can help them understand the inherent compromises before they make decisions they might regret.
And then there are those (who I expect are in the great majority at this time) who are intensive energy users, who wouldn't consider changing the way the use their boat, and realize that electric propulsion is not suited to their needs.
