And you could leave out the high powered audio system with the engine
noise sound effects. :-)



We have already discussed delivering every boat with a sound effects CD.
Everything from a deep throated V8 to a Vespa pppppppppppppp.G

You need a good audio system though to play simulated engine noise.
That was part of the charm with those boats.


This is very true and I am a old hand at the muscle cars and deep exhaust.
However our primary market for these boats is the many many lakes that are
going no gas, people or electric power only. Besides I have to tell you how
nice it is to be hull speed cruising with the wind from your back and not
smelling any exhaust fumes at all!

We had the boat at the Port Townsend Wood boat show this year and we had
many people wanting to know if we would drop a V8 in her.
The next day I brought a quart can of V8 vegetable juice. You should have
seen the response of the first guy I told we had one in thereG

Actually your response is the same as we have been getting ever since we
conceived the project. Now we are having the expressed pleasure of saying

actually she will run on plane for about ten minutes at a time. The
limiting factor right now is the controllers we started with but we are
in
the process of upgrading both the controllers and battery pack

we had her out on Hagg lake west of Portland for about four hours and we
were running on plane for about 40 minutes of that time and the balance
running at cocktail cruise speed.

While the performance is limited at this time we feel we have a niche
market
that is unfulfilled at this time. She really runs better than you would

I apologize - I was being a smart ass.

That is quite an accomplishment.

Congratulations.

You may take some of the Duffy market in SoCal, etc. Look cool while doing
a harbor cruise.

Do you have any under-the-hood photos? (Didn't see any on the web site.)

Hi All,


Check out our website.


www.edison-marine.com


This is an electric powered boat that really performs. We have achieved
speeds of over 30 MPH to date.


For how long - 20 seconds?


Leave it to you to try and **** on anything that you haven't done or
tried or tasted, or anything....
You probably don't know it, because you've lived your whole life not
liking anything but the mundane, but there are other things out there
that are cool as hell that you just haven't either had the foresight
to try or the balls.....

It's not a "site" either. It's a usenet newsgroup.




The guy is trying to sell boats? In a boating newsgroup?
The horror of it.

Maybe he should retain a magazine advertorial writer and get a "great
review" written?
