The electric boats keep getting better and better. Incredible boat!
Nice of you to say so - thanks
This is a fresh look at pontoon style houseboats. Good architecture throughout. Definitely has a place for the right people.
Thanks Doug
This is trick. I saw one at the Sydney boat show a couple of years ago and the next day i was up at north head watching the boats leaving Sydney and this "boat" came along and sailed out the heads and headed north in the open ocean and sailed out of sight!
That was me. No tricks
Nice to see one that doesn’t look like a tin can.
Thanks
When it comes to relaxation, my time, down time,I like to drink my ass off on Fosters beer then pass out on my expensive but kinda uppity house boat.
When it comes to relaxation seem you like to watch youtube - just saying ;)
Now imagine that same boat, at night; in a thunderstorm; or on a miserably hot or cold day. They won't show you that, in an advertisement. What they show you, instead, is optimal weather and marine conditions.
Good thing it has enough batteries and solar power for the air conditioning and heating system yeah? Looks like at least 10,000 Watts. Catamarans are never awesome in open seas during a storm. But it looked wide enough to be fairly stable still
AC is an issue - best to design boats that have a good air flow
I would love to cruise Florida’s Waterways in this. GlennFHoward
Me too
It packed with plenty of energy. Cheap as a catamaran it always sold.
Thanks
doesn't say its a prototype but cant find the price anywhere on websites....also, I find it hard to believe they can fit 2 double beds on the lower deck under the main deck
Yep there's lots of space - Tim
That disappearing helm in the ceiling was trick loved that,I was a yacht builder for 30 yr's ,what kind of price tag on a beautiful craft like that ?
Nice of yo to say Dave - Cheers Tim
Needs more solar panels.
Fingers crossed the pannels will become more efficient soon - aesthetics don't always work with too many panels
Wow awesome. How fast can it go on a sunny day without draining batteries?
There must be a sweet spot where boat get too big and heavy, weight increases by the third power while solar surface area increase by the power of two.
Thanks for your reply :)
Do you think an ocean going / cruising power catamaran would be possible with higher speeds?
With a large enough battery that should be no problem of course, keeping enough safety reserves to be able to move away fast if a storm approaches etc.
It's more of a boat for the inland waterways - Category D to be exact
I wish rainwater harvesting, hrizontal wind turbine, drinking water filteration & blak tank treatement would make it ever lasting ❕ #PiNetwork 🙏
It is a good idea pi and we have thought about it but space is a at premium.
Woww
Thanks
Top demais!!!
Thanks
Please, make more videos.
Hi there - please check out our latest videos on electric narrow boats
So did this ship sink? I can't find any other videos on it.
No it's still being used on the Hawksbury - hawkesburyrivercharter.com.au/water-shed/
Can this handle the ocean?
She is built for the inland waterways and has a Class D ratine. Having said that on a good day we have done a good few coastal miles
G'day
Are you still manufacturing houseboats in Australia?
If yes
How can contact you?
Shayne
I live in the UK but can still manufacture in Australia - tim@mothershipmarine.com
@mothership_marine
Thank you
I'd love one of your narrowboats
But I doubt they'd be available or even suitable in Oz
@@ThePoltergeist I dread to think of the cost of the freight but anything is possible
@mothership_marine
Yep
It would be cheaper to immigrate to England I'd suspect
Not very likely to happen
I also suspect my budget would not extend to being able to afford one of your new boats
I'm just kicking tyres at the moment
I'm more likely to buy a small-ish used houseboat and upgrade it to solar and electric
I see it costs $75k to move an old boat from Lake Eildon to Echuca
Thanks for your time anyway
No worries - thanks for your interest - Tim
If you give me one, I will use it and market your business for you!
Can I think about that one :)
That's fucking awesome. But u can stuck there if the weather is cloudy. I don't like this electric engine. I think the best choice is just a big boat but with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom etc.
Whe its cloudy you can put on the generator
Must have folded, can't find any info on them.
I live on the Murray River but have never heard of this mob or seen one of these.
Must be an attempt at a scam.
Hi Jim. Still going strong but the price tends to be a bit high. Current price about 1M AUD. And certainly not a scam. Are you interested in purchasing one. If so please go to mothershipmarine.com. Tim

$1,000,000+ pls

Stop the music please
Thanks
In any rough seas this thing would sink.. and Australian design huh? lol ok. The guy says that as if they are some kind of leader in boat design or something.. look to the french, english, or the good ol USA for the best engineering in the world bar none. Thats just a fact. Last I checked this internet we are all using.. yeah that was invented in the USA. Other great examples are things like the I phone, the AC motor, oh and last but not least ELECTRICITY lol. It is like the rest of the world wants to pretend they are on the level of the USA.. not even close. China seems to be but they steal our tech and ideas then cop them as their own lol. What a joke.
shut up you mindless bimbo, you are but a crusty butthole who is peanut butter and jelous you can't afford neither a french nor an american vessel... **mic drop**
It's meant for RIVER sailing. Not sailing on SEAS.
Yep you got it!
