The Electric Motorboat
This is the electric watercraft that provides effortless waterborne excursions for two people for up to six hours. The watercraft’s 12-volt electric motor drives its two-bladed propeller, providing leisurely 4-mph cruises over calm lakes or ponds, ideal for accessing secret swimming holes, fishing spots, or visiting neighboring docks. Featuring the latest fiberglass construction technology, this Hammacher Schlemmer limited edition is trimmed with mahogany, chromed moldings, and stainless steel drink holders, cradling riders in twin foam-padded recumbent seats upholstered in marine-grand vinyl. Its wide beam and low center of gravity provide reliable stability for two persons up to 550 lbs. Price $4,000
A portside control knob switches between five forward and two reverse speeds while a starboard hand tiller with a thumb-activated throttle provides easy steering. It includes a waterproof 120-watt audio system with two 5″ speakers that play music from a connected iPod and a built-in cooler that holds up to 24 bottles or cans of a preferred libation.
