The all electric Grizzly work boat powered by Photon Marine P300 Outboards

Looks like a solid boat. Nice job with the video.

Amazing! I need 9 of these in my place now! Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!

I could see a place for this boat with line handlers at a port for ships. I'll bet if you look at actual times and distance working a small boat around marinas, shipyards and ports, this could be a great option. Especially if you leave and return to the same dock all the time to plug in a charger. Maybe put solar panels on top to supplement charging? It's all about finding the right tool for the job.

Awesome idea. If you run out of juice out on the water your friend can bring you a 5 gallon can of electricity.

Super cool and probably fun to drive. But I don't know many commercial operators who need a boat that can only run on plane for 1 hour. It's a huge problem for the marine industry, bigger than cars as boats are just not very efficient. The people hitting those maintenance periods so quickly are running their boats constantly all day and pure electric just can't do that. We really need to come up with another solution. Hydrogen? Clean ICE engines? I wish I knew the simple answer. We need Something where I can run a boat out 15 miles and back and not have to worry. I am not even sure if that boat could do one of our research trips though I would love to give it a try

If money wasn't an option you could easily build a boat with twice the range with todays battery tech. In a few years that will double again meanwhile battery prices are dropping fast. A hydrogen boat that size would be absurdly expensive and complicated and no better range.

Prop design and optimisation for electric motors is critical. What's the battery bank details Chemistry, location etc. Tidy work boat but throwing a lot of wake... adding a generator would give it emergency range and endurance for complex night time and bad conditions operations when an operator has to hang around and possibly recover another vesel.

How much quieter is this style of propulsion compared with ICE propulsion?

[@someguydino6770]

electric motors are usually quiet; but those sound like cheesy rock guitar silliness?

lithium near salt water. nope.
