It does appear that they are at the present more "anti" PWC, and I'd like to know where those "stats" came from as well. On the bright side, there's no reason that couches can't start moving in this direction soon - the average couch rider on Sunday afternoon doesn't need to go 70 mph and could do just fine on a machine such as this. Leave the noise and environmental polluting to us few folks that must have higher performance.

i won't a problem with paying a "polluter tax" if need be.
electric pwc are still years away imo.the range and performance are still short of people's expectations.
love to know how much that unit weighs as well.extra weight on trailer=extra fuel to get it to the water.:biggrin:

If he thinks that is 50 MPH he is dreaming. He almost couldn't catch that sail boat. Is that a Honda hull? That thing alone will weight close to 500 pounds bare then a 40 to 60 HP motor. That is what it would take to get that hull to 30 MPH. Then 6 deep cycle 8 volt batteries to get 48 volts of power would be adding around 1000 to 1200 pounds.

This guy is a quack. Here is a post from Mr. Bluewater [FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif]Gasoline engines in personal watercraft produce piercing noises that can be heard for 10’s of miles[/FONT]

My ski is about the loudest that I have heard and at 3/4 mile across a quiet lake it can barely be heard.
