More Electric Boats - Epic Boats 23e Hybrid Wake Boat.

I just saw the announcement that Epic Boats is launching the Epic 23e Electric hybrid wakeboarding boat. A while back, we reviewed the Duffy Electric Boats which offer a quiet peaceful way to cruise protected waterways. The Epic 23e looks to be a whole other creature. Designed for performance and backed up with a gas motor, it is a wakeboard boat. According to the Epic 23e page, you can wakeboard for an hour on electric power alone and can recharge them with the generator in about an hour or plug in to a 110 or 220 socket. Of course the whole point of the hybrid is that you also have the power and recharge capabilities of the gas engine.

As green boating and hybrid cars advance, it isn't surprising to see some exciting, greened up options in the performance boating field. Check out Epics video.
