Say goodbye to the sound of "putt-putt-putt", the smoke, and the slimey trail of oil in your local lake or waterway.
The Loon solar electric boat (pictured above) uses electricity stored in batteries to propel the boat, and solar panels on its roof to regenerate and extend the range beyond or instead of that provided by a shore side charge. It has a 35-50+ mile range and top speed of 8 knots (9.5 mph), relatively fast for a pontoon style boat that seats 10. All this while producing none of the noise, fumes, oil discharge, or fuel usage and fuel cost of a conventional boat.
This first Loon will be kept in the St. Petersburg waterway area, and interested boat customers will be able to arrange for free showings and rides by emailing goelectric@cfl.rr.com or calling the shop at 407-657-5550
