PURE WATERCRAFT ELECTRIC OUTBOARD TAKES GM INTO EB MARKET
Pure WaterCraft teams up with GM to deliver electric powered outboard motor Drive Legs for growing EB Market. But in 2019 they had just delivered a new prototype.
The Green Boater spoke with Pure WaterCraft in 2019 at the Seattle Boat Show. This interview uncovers their strategies which proved solid in attracting their mega partner in the EB space - General Motors.
Their sleek drive leg design and proprietary components, including battery and charging systems made them stand out from the rest of the pack.
Now they are delivering electric powered systems for the recreational pontoon boat market, the bass fishing boat market and the yacht tender RIB market.
Their latest designs build off the original ones showcased at the Seattle Boat Show. At that time their demo electric outboard motor was attached to a 90 year old wooden sea sled which could reach silent running speeds of 40 miles per hour!
The biggest news comes at their attractive price point - essentially the same as a 40 HP gas outboard, when factoring the price of the motor, gas tank and starter batteries. The power to weight ratio is also close - an important factor in small boat propulsion.
The Green Boater applauds their eco friendly offering which replaces fossil fuel systems with all their associated environmental issues.
One aha moment they highlighted was the low profile of the drive leg, essentially freeing up the aft view from the boat. No longer staring into the back of monster 4 stroke cowling - their drive leg sits 3 inches proud of the transom.
Future enhancements will be drive by wire and a quieter overall system.
A mobile app allows the user to configure the system remotely as well as upload feature enhancements from Pure Watercraft.
Watch out for this team. GM and Pure Watercraft are poised to be a leader the EB Market for years to come.
