this thread is about electric boats

not meant to replace our gas engine boats, but merely to show a new form of energy on boats .. an option if you will

Not an option here for pretty much all of us. 10 mph in a 15ft boat or tops of 29 mph for like 3-4 hrs and then wait for hours to charge. That's not happening for anyone I know. Just like the old saying goes... There's no replacement for displacement...

a young kid ..

found a "replacement for your displacement"

it's called Tesla








.

okay,so 1 bad mining is out,,but they're still mining and using cobolt right now,,so your wrong.

and why bother,,because if you don't,,we'll just think your full of schit.

Sutphen,

Also of note...

Notice the title of the video. That's a GUTTED Tesla. With that said, it's probably also assumable that it's about as far from stock as the foxbody is. Besides... I can take you to a couple of good ol' boys in London, KY that will SMOKE that Tesla, with all its gutting and mods, and they probably won't even put their helmets on to do it.

Teslas are great cars. Don't get me wrong, but they are NOT going to revolutionize the performance car market, let alone the boat market. They lack a very large part of what draws a great many of us to the arena.

Also of note... In my world of high performance model boats, the electrics have surpasses un nitro and gas guys and are never looking back. But, if the electrics ever run us fuel guys completely out of the sport, I will not be joining the electric crowd. I have no interest in "competing" in a sport that's entirely plug-n-play, where the thickness of your credit card determines the podium with absolution..

Thanks. Brad.

I've seen that tesla before and knew it was gutted to make it as light as possible.its good tesla has alot of extra cells in there batteries.in the long haul if you keep stressing the batty,its gonna die quicker than taking it easy on them.remember,motors have all its torque at 0 rpms,so off the line they can move out.
now,I have the 2016 cadi elr,it has the perf. package,I beat on the car fairly regularly.I have an app. that I can look at the voltage of each cell in the battery.6yrs and 65k miles,I have 2 cells which happen to be beside each other,getting weak,,not real bad,but you can see they are lower and come back up to the other cell on regen.but take off hard and those 2 cells discharge just a little quicker than the others.glad I have a 10yr/150k mile battery warranty.:Dwe'll see how long it lasts."D

that’s cool. Still mined minerals coming from the same places with the same issues. My point was electric vehicles aren’t the great green savior everyone’s selling them to be.
