Pre-Orders Available on Tracker Marine Electric-Outboard Bass Boat
|
Tracker Marine has announced availability of their popular 175 TXW all-welded aluminum bass boat in an electric-powered model.
The company says the two-battery version will go about 20 miles at up to 24 mph with a full charge. The outboard itself, from Pure Watercraft, looks sort of like the lower unit of a standard outboard, without the powerhead. The batteries put out 350 volts each, and are rated to survive about 1500 cycles of recharging.
Reportedly the high-capacity batteries can go from half to full charge in 90 minutes with the included onboard charger.
While the rig would not be suitable for large bass lakes where long runs are typical, for smaller lakes and rivers it might well gain traction. The company promises low maintenance, very little noise and of course you never have to visit the gas station, while at the same time doing good things for air quality.
Base price is $24,000 with the single battery model, which has a lower range than the dual battery version. The package includes single-axle trailer, 12-volt Minn Kota troller with separate battery and Lowrance HOOK2 depthfinder. No word on how soon these boats will actually be sitting in your driveway, but a $500 refundable deposit gets you in line to own one.
