That's an awesome boat right there. Would make a perfect Shanty boat to do the loop on that wouldn't cost a cent for fuel.. For people wondering how much, the price is $250,000 euros
This is like a pontoon boat with electric trolling motors and a roof of solar panels and somewhere in the hulls, they must have hidden solid gold bars to create the $272,000 price tag.
Bob White from Sailing Doodles has a 52 foot catamaran in the final stages of build that's all battery powered. The boat is supposed to be at the Miami Boat show later this year. Very well thought out. The only ICE engines are the rib boat and he has a back up diesel generator in case the 7 lithium battery packs require more of a charge than the solar panels and the regenerative drives provide. Video was just published yesterday on the Doodles channel.
It just now got good enough 2024 to do it.... efficiency is getting so good. Also a wind turbine should be used on boats also.. both solar and wind. One could also implement hydro power using recycled washing machine parts, if you are smart enough
Like the vid. Miss the boat ramp chit shows. Alfred must have been ran off the boat ramps by other YT boat ramp channels. Like the comment we have no batteries followed by we have two little batteries. Hmm
@@danielmorris6584 ask chat gpt. The Sun is expected to last for about another 5 billion years. It is currently in the middle of its life cycle, which is about 10 billion years in total. Right now, the Sun is in a stable phase called the "main sequence," where it fuses hydrogen into helium. In about 5 billion years, the Sun will exhaust its hydrogen fuel and enter the red giant phase, expanding dramatically and eventually shedding its outer layers. The core will then collapse into a white dwarf, which will slowly cool and fade over billions of years.

Great video Alfred. Definitely something different right there.

Glad to see you both are having fun! Love the videos! 😀🎬🛥️🌊🎸
Great trip with lots of added bonus footage for you guys
Awesome! I want one.
Great equalizer in Speed between electric and gas is cavitation of propeller and impeller. You can only push them so much.
Oh My Goodness,, This is so Awesome

That is a nice looking cat, although personally I'd prefer a hybrid like the Wynn's got from H & H

In the Doodles video, Bobby talked about his reasoning for going straight electric/sail over a hybrid system.
@@gungadinn I caught that and it makes sense for him.
That's crazy!
integrate wind and hydro turbines as backup?
I would love to see this solar setup on say an 40ft Aquilla with diesel hybrid engines and a bigger battery array .
all vehicles should have solar panels on top

all buildings should have a solar roof.
what was the PRICE ? ?
$270,000 American dollars

I keep looking for a de-masted 40' catamaran so I can do something like this but I would have more batteries. I will sell the diesel engines
Nice but
Ill not be buying one😅
0:58 correction, the sun will be around for another 5 billion years. We won't 😂😬
5 billion? 😂 How can you be so sure?

Give or take a week.😂 @@danielmorris6584
@@danielmorris6584 Because there is only about 5 Billion years worth of Hydrogen left to fuel the sun...obviously.
