Four Winns H2e
The Four Winns H2e is the first all-electric, series-production bowrider on the market. Developed jointly with Vision Marine Technologies, the H2e pairs a 22-foot H-Series hull with the E-Motion 180E electric outboard. It’s the first fully electric purpose-built outboard powertrain, joining battery pack, inverter, and motor with a proprietary union assembly. Twin 43 kWh batteries (70 kWh total) charge through an onboard system compatible with any dock shore power. Top speed approaches 35 knots. Range governs the outing plan. Standard equipment includes a dual touchscreen digital display, LED lighting throughout, four-speaker Bluetooth stereo, and wireless phone charger. More info: www.fourwinns.com

Princecraft Brio e 21-2S
Princecraft’s Brio Electric brings zero-emission propulsion to the brand that’s been building pontoons since 1954. The 21-foot Brio e 21-2S is built from 5052-H36 marine-grade aluminum. Power runs off a Mercury Avator electric outboard or a Torqeedo Cruise 3.0/6.0/12.0R. Three engine configurations let buyers dial range and power up or down. In-floor battery storage and hidden compartments keep the deck uncluttered. An optional Concert Package adds Bluetooth audio, LED lighting, wireless phone charger, and a luxury captain’s chair. The Torqeedo Cruise 3.0 without trailer is the base configuration. More info: www.princecraft.com
Specifications: Length: 21 ft 7 in | Dry weight: Approx. 1,605 lbs (728 kg) | Max horsepower: Approx. 25 hp (~18.6 kW, 48V; Torqeedo Cruise 12.0R or Mercury Avator) | Passenger capacity: 9 persons | Max weight capacity: 1,822 lbs (826 kg) | Hull type: Aluminum pontoon with H36 marine-grade keels; electric outboard propulsion | MSRP: CAD $195,000-200,000 (avg. dealer pricing)
Rand Boats Leisure 28
Rand Boats is Danish, and the brand is rethinking what an electric day boat should look like. The hulls are half-made of recycled plastics, and every model is touted as “unsinkable”. Architect Carl Kai Rand handles the design work across the lineup, which covers the Picnic 18, Mana 23, Play 24, Supreme 27, and Leisure 28. The Leisure 28 is the only model with a closed bow and a queen-sized cabin. It carries a 240 kW sterndrive or Torqeedo Deep Blue shaft drive, reaches 40 knots with the maximum power package, and manages a 120 nm planing range per charge (140 nm at cruising speed).

Specifications: Length: 27 ft 7 in (8.44 m | Beam: approx. 8 ft 5 in (2.59 m) | Dry weight: N/A | Max horsepower: 105-240 kW electric (equivalent 140-320 hp); gas/diesel to 350 hp also offered | Passenger capacity: Up to 12 | Hull type: Hybrid recycled-plastic composite; open transom design; unsinkable construction; closed bow | MSRP: CAD $286,600 (approx.)
Vision Marine SPECTR26 (Specter)
Vision Marine Technologies launched the SPECTR26 (Specter) at the Miami International Boat Show earlier this year. It’s the company’s flagship electric tritoon and the reference platform for its high-voltage propulsion strategy. The 26’6” fiberglass monocoque tritoon runs dual 180 hp E-Motion electric outboards, drawing on the first fully integrated high-voltage electric powertrain in the segment. Dual 10-inch seamless touchscreens sit at the dual console. Each motor is equivalent to approximately 230 peak horsepower. More info: www.visionmarinetechnologies.com
Specifications: Length: 26 ft 6 in | Max horsepower: 360 hp combined continuous (dual 180 hp E-Motion; ~230 peak hp per unit) | Hull type: Fiberglass monocoque tritoon with dual high-voltage electric outboards | MSRP: CAD $150,000 (approx.)
