I have been an Elco user/enthusiast for several years, I couldn't be happier to see the next generation of performance coming from Elco.
Elco Motor Yacht's EP-30 with and their new batteries are providing an all new standard of performance. As seen online in the boating magazine article https://www.boatingmag.com/electric-whaler-2025
...check out the video of the Boston Whaler topping 20 mph while getting NEARLY 20 MILES RANGE FROM its ON-BOARD BATTERIES

A jump in battery technology becomes available this summer - Lithium Nickel Magnesium Cobalt, which is the chemistry automobile manufacturers have settled on for the time being, brings 25 percent more power aboard at the same weight!
I spoke with senior management at Elco, who say that the production units will be on the market this Summer. I can't wait!
