Pretty sure that young lady prefers the bigger boat more. They always do.

So do I for that matter. Would love to see more old teak powerboats converted to EV. Could you imagine what a difference that would make in Venice?

Electric works great for boats of modest size, speed and range (think Duffys). Not so much if you want to go fast for long... An electric 20s, 30s, or 40s Chris Craft would be neat, though there was also something special about the flat head straight 8 Chrysler powerplants of the era...
