Nimbus 27E

[Flybridge 31]

Hi All
I came across this boat which is electrically powered. Which does 25 Knots.

Does anyone know anything about it. Sounds interesting.

Here's its website. Very expensive, nicely appointed for its size. They claim it has a 20 kn range at 22 knots on a 4-hour charge...that seems pretty impressive, but wouldn't work for everyone. Maybe mount 20 solar panels on it? ;-)

I was thinking it sounded quite pitiful and you have to wonder how much all those storage batteries weigh + motors and at what cost Vs Diesel engines and fuel?

Betcha the diesel engines come in many tens of thousands of dollars in front plus have a significantly greater range.
