I believe Shaun ended up running a best pass of 116 - surpassing his goal of 115. It's an awesome feat for sure, but electric performance boats have a long ways to go before they're a viable option to ICE powered performance boats. The problem still is that batteries are not even close to as energy dense as gasoline. Once a major leap in battery technology happens and the energy density level gets closer, they will become a great alternative to ICE powered performance boats as electric motors are capable of putting out huge torque numbers that boats love!
