I was down in st pete this weekend, on business so to speak. A couple of my buddies wanted to rent a boat, but after rent, gas insurance it got too be too much<br /><br />Then we stumbled on someone who rents electric boats..<br /><br />We rented it at night for 4 hours, it has a meter to tell you battery charge so you know how much time you have.<br /><br />It was a blast<br /><br />quiet<br />no smell <br />lots of room, batteries under seat<br />plenty of zip, we were just putting around the harbors so we were pretty much always in the no wake zones.<br /><br />we had wine, beer, bread, cheese<br /><br />There was a live band at the rib fest<br /><br />Apparently they also have a winter model that the curtains go down on and it heats up pretty well.<br /><br />dont know about the cost, she claims it costs 70 cents to recharge all 10 batteries but that cant be right, <br /><br />It was alot of fun, low maintenance, just the batteries, and they charged with a 110 plug<br /><br />I would get one for just pleasure touring around the lake myself. <br /><br />She claimed they could go for 10 hours on a charge, but I dont know at what speed.<br /><br />Later!
