You would need like 16-20 batteries for any kind of performance, and again they cost alot, and won't last 1/2 of the advertized life span.
Ask them folks w/ 100% battery powered cars....they were/are disappointed. Batteries are THE WEAK LINK !!!!! Want to become a billionaire, figure that one out.

You DO NOT need like 16-20 batteries for any kind of performance, don't be silly. its not an electric car that needs 800 lbs of batteries to power it.

if you had bothered to read the info about it you would see that ALL it needs is four 12 volt 200 AH batteries to power your boat.

if you don't like the idea of battery power that's fine, but don't try to misrepresent the situation. this thing works, and it works quite nicely on just four 12 volt batteries and while im sure its not the fastest thing on the water, it gets pretty good speed comparable to the speeds you get with an outboard.
