The Prius of boats?


Endeavour Green: "Say goodbye to the fuel pump. Endeavour Electric Boats can run all day long on a charge that costs only 11 cents. Maintenance is just minutes per month. Endeavour Green's new battery powered, zero emissions green boats rely on clean electric propulsion and will lead the way to a cleaner environment. The Endeavour Hybrid is built for long range cruising. The Endeavour Electric is the perfect eco tour boat, allowing you to get close to wildlife without spooking them. And imagine the busy Annapolis Harbor serviced by clean, quiet and efficient electric water taxis. This is a sustainable energy boat that when charged by solar, wind or hydro-electric, becomes a true zero carbon footprint boat."

Comment -- The Website says the boat only has a top speed of 6.4 mph, so I don't think it could haul a knee board and provide many thrills.
