Electric Ski Nautique

[suckmywake]

I saw this in trailer boat magazine. I know it is lipo power but claims only 3 to 4 ski set per charged and 4 1/2 hrs to charge. Look like alot of room was taken up for batt storage. Where will the bear go.:beerchug:

I know epic made a hybrid wakeboard boat for a while now.

According to correct craft you can get 26 passes out of it. But I don't know if that includes pulling up the skier each time. The cost is a little bit out of hand though. The power train alone is supposed to be 100k

Hmm, just saw this.

One of my ski buddies ( an electricl engineer) looked into this as he was tinkering w/ the idea of converting his nautique. He contacted correct craft and got no where w/ pricing, so he did his research and got straight to the manufacturer of the power plant. Its no where near 100K which is what I told him it would probably be. I forget eh actual cost but it was waay less. BUT, the problem is the short run time. IM sure in time it will be improved, but for now, it seems its a millionaires lake house, 5 min set before work boat. :laugh:

Obrien, your in the industry. When are you guys going to fit 6 of these in a passenger cat?

I am sure the price from the manufacturer isn't 100k, thats what Nautique is going to charge. This is according to my boss talked with them a while back about it. We are working with correct craft on a couple of diesel packages.

I doubt we will be doing anything like this, but you never know what the future could bring.
