[Electric Boats] Re: Torqeedo Deep Blue 80 hp outboard

 



It looks like Deep Blue is only intended for use with Torqeedo's Li-Mn batteries, so better add $49K for the mid-size battery bank, which allows about 2 hrs runtime at barely-planing speed on the 1100lb boat used in their catalog.

I wish them success, but that sure seems like a pretty limited market... Maybe there are enough folks who need to run (briefly) at planing speeds on non-ICE waterways, but I'll bet most of them are in Europe, not the US.
