Electric powertrains are quickly coming a major market segment in the sailboat world. People are repowering with electric and most boats come with it as an option from the factory. Especially on the race boats the quiet and lightweight are a treat.

A good survey of the boat, politely showing the shortcomings. Based on a $200-300K Fantom Air, there's the cost of a couple of Macans added to the price … : ) In this "half mill" price range, expect: * joystick steering for 360º docking maneuvers with easy, GPS hold station-keeping, autopilot navigation, optimal "return to port" * direct drive (the gearbox is the _weak_ link in a boat power train, getting rid of it saves weight at the transom, significantly reduces losses and improves NVH) * twin engine for efficiency, durability, differential steering * 2+2 seating, the seats across the stern get buffeting and spray and noise and restricted view, more motion sickness * range and power seem to be great fun, but it's a small boat not suited to open water (note bow-rising ride in calm seas) * instruments were difficult to read, console was already looking scratched

It's likely not a coolant -> ambient bottleneck, but an inverter then maybe motor/battery bottleneck. All that stuff is taken from the Porsche and redesigning it is an unreasonable thing to expect.

@@concinnus this guy is talking about “unreasonable thing to expect” on a tiny $500,000 boat. 😂. Batteries, inverters, and motors already have cooling loops.

Doesn’t everyone? 70mph is about 100kw or under 150Hp. A used Tesla model S 100 battery and two Netgain warp 9 motors would be about as cheap as you can go. Given the warp 9s are $5000 each, and the total mass of the motors and battery are about 500kg minus the rest of the power train, stick to 4 stroke with a wet exhaust for now. Or just buy ten trolling motors?

a) This video in no way expresses how incredibly good this thing looks, despite the open foredeck. Frauscher really does make super rad boats b) I find it disappointing that Porsche obviously didn't go all-in when it comes to propulsion. On the one hand, the unnecessary mechanical clutch, and on the other, the blunt curtailment of the drive - it doesn't look to me as if Porsche has invested the same level of commitment here as Frauscher.
