Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Put a tower and Bimini on that, and it would be perfect. I love the interior layout. Finally a new interior. Why didn't you invite me? I would have been in the water skiing, wake boarding, and trying to surf. (Oh yeah, you don't know me.)
Beautiful boat. But jeezus, all sold out at $300K. There's a lot of rich people out there.
Got to drive the Arc One last year – fantastic boat, team and mission. Crazy cool tech that keeps the battery sealed yet cooled by the water at the same time.
Why 300 000 for this? For what? 300$ ipad with gps on boat? 😂 Thanks next
For $300k u get a 24ft that cant handle chop, needs access to charging ports, only does 40 mph. Theres a bunch of gas boats will do everything better at less than half the price. Thumbs up for creating but the tech just isnt there yet
So awesome boat 🚢 😊
glad to see cancer treatments will be the long term investments from all these radiating ideas…
This is for the Tony’s Montanas of the world
What happens to the battery if the boat takes on water in a storm or in error of operation?
the price hehe
It will be advantageous being on the water when the batteries catch of fire.
That boat pulling 2 skiers would be lucky to last
1 hour what a joke.
The biggest joke is 300000 dollars 😂
I Need Flying Car!!! 🖐🏻😳🖐🏻
3-5 hours?? I live on the Middle Peninsula and I can guarantee the market for a boat like that will br basically non existent.
"It's just that I'm old school like that…"
Why does it have such a loud noise if it’s electric?
A lot of comments here seem to not understand that most large boats have battery racks and electric motors. They use what is essentially a diesel generator to power electric motors and battery bays. This is also how many train locomotives work. When you have a large enough vehicle diesel electric is more efficient than normal combustion.
So, we have been keepjng large battery bays dry on boats for decades. That being said a fully electric boat without anyway to add additional energy while in use is a terrible idea. Look how big that boat is without any below deck galley or sitting area, its all batteries. Terrible design.
Very interested in a fishing boat!!
Perfect combination,saltwater and batteries. They also missed the boat on the failure of electric cars.
Some sage advice. Never buy a 1st generation of a brand new product. Wait a generation or two or more. Unless you’ve got the money to burn/waste.
It would cut down on the noise for the people on the beach.
Electrical boat in the water. The first victim is gonna be famous!
I like seeing electric tech developing like this. I've seen electric tractors, snowmobiles, big rigs, etc. They'll keep getting better in time. Glad CNET made this video.
So if the software didn’t have a speed limit how fast could it go?
Thats about $250K profit
