I’m no sailor but isn’t the obvious problem that motor could easily strike some shallow water objects ?

All hydrofoil boats have the same principle as far as I know, this is just electric.

@DylValentine in some sailboats that’s exactly where propellers sit inside of the keel it’s all so you’re main way to turn. But at that price point I feel you

@DylValentine the motor always protrudes into the water and is essential for propulsion. Except on ‘jet’ boats, I guess.

I would rather live in this way more than a traditional 🏠 house. Add some solar, then travel anywhere.

Could they put a propeller on the nose and use it for battery regen?

This would be so cool to have on a super yatch. The company should make a super yatch next.

why is it still shaped like a boat if it doesnt need to push through the water? cant u find a more Efficient design?

Running costs are going to be 10-40x lower than a conventional planing ICE boat.

Now imagine having a boat with an actual gimbal between the lower and upper hull. Seasickness would go away!

I wonder how well it would perform with a toroidal propeller.
