What people forget is that the sun doesn't always shine and the wind doesn't always blow. We will still need power plants powered by fossil or nuclear fuel to power the grid.

.


these electric toy boats are NOT going to replace or fix
  • power plants
  • Covid
  • nuclear fuel
  • CO2 emissions
  • cancer
  • will not replace V8 outboards
  • will not replace V8 / V16 gasoline racing motors
they're just for toying around

with that being said check out what this kid has made "it's just a toy" ..

Not for me! Same with Tesla and other electric or hybrid crap. I am super excited about my new to me gas guzzling pair of 575SCI engines !
I need stink of gas and oil, noise, actually lots of it , vibrations and close to triple digits speed jumping the waves . As long as I am alive , I am very happy to burn as much as possible of fossil based fuels.
But that is just me.

watch the vid.... its a sea sled looks like an early cat i think t2 or brownie has mentioned it......i think these are just a money grab its not very realistic i,m a boat wrench and i can assure you that batteries, electronics and salt water do no get along well...... none of this fancy electronics with pixee dust protection stands the test of time ! even on big tug boats that are diesel electric its a lot of work keeping it operating
