The Pure Outboard is meant to replace gas motors that run between 9.9
and 40 horsepower. The Pure Watercraft models range from 9.9 to 25
horsepower.
The motor’s range varies with speed. Using two battery packs, the boat
can travel 20 miles going 12 mph or 11 miles going 20 mph before needing
a charge.
“Just maintaining gas motors is huge,” he said. “The electric market is
really key to that. Boats can sit all winter and won’t require
winterization and oil changes.”
Pure Watercraft estimates that 2 million people in the U.S. own boats
with comparable gas motors. It’s reasonable to think that a least
one-third of those people will switch to electric in the long run,
