Eco Watercraft

Description:

Maker of an all electric jetski vehicle. It can go 50 miles/hr on the water, no emissions, no noise. It's recognized that regular jetski craft are very dirty putting out lots of pollution, and the noise irritates many. They've been banned in many places due to noise and pollution issues. As an electric vehicle this jetski has neither noise nor pollution.

Duffy Boats

Description:

Duffy sells a range of electric boats from 14' to 22' length. It seems these are meant to be "pleasure boats" for afternoon cruises, and not for long distance boating. But they are serious boats that appear to be well built, and the company has been in existence since 1970.

Description:

One man's design for an electrified kayak. His purpose is fishing and he's using an inexpensive trolling motor. The battery, I think, is a poor choice of a lead-acid marine battery, whereas for a kayak you want a light battery like you'd have with lithium-ion. His kayak is a sit-on-top style.
