The new C-8 is taking the technology to another level while making the boat with the most comfort and bringing that to mass production.
The cost of driving a Candela C-8 is 95% lower than for regular gas powered boats. No winterizing and 3,000 hours with no maintenance sounds good too.

It’ll take time to get this right.
It’s hilariously audacious of them to cite low costs…twice, completely ignoring that it costs 3x more than a boat with ICE. It is in no way cheaper.
When we can get 150 mile range, 50 knots and within 20-30% the cost of alternatives, we’ll have something.
Cars are a lot further along, but that’s always the case.
Cars lost carbs en masse in what? 87? 88?
It was the early to mid 2000s before most boats had fuel injection.
The stats will improve and in my lifetime I’ll probably have an electric boat.
